Reference: BGD_SLB_JO_F2026004

Classification: Confidential / Executive Strategy

Overview

Journal Officiel N° 04 of 2026 marks a structural pivot in the "Citadel Strategy," moving from fiscal planning to institutional enforcement. It mandates a new architecture for data sovereignty and centralizes multi-billion euro procurement channels under sovereign gatekeepers.

This briefing provides an interpretive diagnostic for international boards, focusing on the decentralization of cybersecurity oversight and the erosion of regional financial privacy.
