February 3, 2026

OpenAI has unveiled its new Codex app, a standalone platform designed to improve productivity for software developers. The application, currently available to ChatGPT users, functions as a central interface that uses artificial intelligence to assist with code management and development tasks.

Streamlined Management Of Ai Agents

The Codex app is intended to simplify interaction with multiple AI agents. Each agent can execute tasks such as code generation independently and operates in separate project threads. This structure allows developers to review changes in an organized way while maintaining efficiency in long-running projects.

Expanding Influence In The Coding Community

More than one million developers have used Codex in the past month, reflecting growing demand for AI-assisted coding tools. OpenAI first introduced Codex in April and made it generally available in October. The company is positioning the app alongside competing solutions from firms such as Anthropic and Cursor.

Enhanced Accessibility And Performance Improvements

The new Codex app integrates a comprehensive library of skills, such as image generation, expanding its functionality beyond traditional code creation. While access to Codex is typically bundled with ChatGPT subscriptions — including Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans — the firm is temporarily extending its availability to free users and those on its low-cost Go subscription tier. To further entice its user base, Openai is doubling rate limits across paid plans, underscoring its commitment to driving developer innovation.

Leadership And Vision

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described the Codex app as “the most loved internal product we’ve ever had,” adding that the team has been actively experimenting with it in recent months.

February 24, 2026

European Dominance Challenged By Global Contenders

The 2026 edition of the Henley & Partners Residence and Citizenship Programs report shows increasing competition in the investment migration market. European programs, traditionally seen as the global benchmark, are now facing stronger competition from jurisdictions in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Caribbean as countries expand offerings aimed at attracting capital and internationally mobile investors.

New Entrants And Rapid Climbers Reshape The Landscape

Malta remains ranked first in the Global Citizenship Program Index for the 11th consecutive year, while Greece retains the top position in the Global Residence Program Index. At the same time, several jurisdictions improved their standings. The UAE moved from fifth to a joint second position, entering the top three for the first time. Countries including Costa Rica, New Zealand, Panama, and Singapore also gained ground, while Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, and the Maldives appeared as new entrants.

Competing For Capital And Global Talent

Governments increasingly use residence and citizenship frameworks as tools to attract foreign investment and entrepreneurial talent. According to Henley & Partners Chairman Dr. Christian H. Kaelin, Europe remains a strong player, but countries such as Singapore and the UAE are accelerating reforms to strengthen their appeal to globally mobile investors.

Established Leaders And Agile Newcomers In Citizenship Programs

The Global Citizenship Program Index continues to be led by established programs. Malta’s citizenship-by-merit framework scored 77 points, maintaining its leading position, while Austria followed with a highly selective model. Programs in Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Nauru also received strong rankings. New entrants such as São Tomé and Príncipe and Samoa reflect a broader expansion of citizenship-based offerings.

European Consolidation And Emerging Residence Hubs

In the residence category, Greece remains first, supported by EU access and lifestyle advantages. Italy, Switzerland, and the UAE continue to compete closely, combining tax efficiency with investor-oriented policies. Portugal and Australia maintain strong positions, while Uruguay is emerging as a stable option with growing international interest.

Performance Metrics And Strategic Advantages

Both indexes evaluate 40 programs across factors including reputation, quality of life, compliance standards, investment requirements, and tax considerations. Austria and Malta scored strongly on program quality, while the UAE ranked highly in lifestyle and tax competitiveness. The rankings highlight how jurisdictions are positioning themselves to attract globally mobile capital.

Wealth On The Move

The report points to a broader shift in global wealth mobility. According to Dominic Volek, Group Head of Private Clients at Henley & Partners, investors increasingly prioritize stability, transparency, and clear long-term pathways when choosing residence or citizenship options.

As global uncertainty persists, residence and citizenship programs are increasingly viewed not only as investment tools but as strategic instruments for long-term mobility and risk diversification.
