MBABANE – The Central Bank of Eswatini joined other member countries in Manila, Philippines for this year’s Global Policy Forum (GPF) this past week.
The GPF was co-hosted by AFI and one of its founding members Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) under the theme, ‘Stability, Sustainability, and Inclusivity for Shared Prosperity’ .
CBE Communications coordinators shared the information this morning on their various social media platforms.
“The GPF was a four-day event, working group meetings (day one), the Annual General Meeting (second day), and the Global Policy Forum (days three and four). The Bank was represented by the Governor and seven working group members,” read part of the statement.
It further mentioned that the working groups provided a platform for knowledge exchange and peer learning that allow members to share, deliberate, and deepen their knowledge and understanding of key financial inclusion issues.
The GPF’s spotlight was on the intersection between inclusion, stability, and sustainability against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving global socio-economic, geopolitical, and environmental landscape.
“Discussions focused on how members can best promote financial inclusion alongside financial stability and integrity; how to institutionalise efforts to promote financial inclusion and how to capitalise on the transformational impact of technology while keeping its risks in check,” further read the statement.
