    NEW AFRICA BUSINESS NEWS (NABN) Accra – Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has charged Central Bank governors across Africa to facilitate collaboration amongst key stakeholders to help with the integration of payment systems  in the continent.

    According to the World Economic Forum, payments which have always been the lifeblood of  trade will be key for infra-African trade, which covers 55 countries with varying financial and  monetary systems, especially with the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area.

    Cross–border payments in Africa typically involve a third currency, such as the US dollar or  euro, leading to high costs and long transaction times. In an effort to improve the situation, the  African Export–Import Bank (Afreximbank) and the AfCFTA Secretariat announced in  September this year, the operational roll–out of the Pan–African Payment and Settlement System  (PAPSS), a revolutionary Financial Market Infrastructure to enable instant, cross–border payments in local currencies between African markets.


    In his address as the Guest of Honor for the virtual Association of African Central Banks  Annual Conference on Payment Systems hosted by the Bank of Ghana, under the theme “The  Role of an Integrated Payment System for Intra African Trade”, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, noted that Africa has been primed by the push for digitalization through COVID to provide the required payment infrastructure and systems to boost trade.


    “The achievement of the noble objectives of the AFCFTA will largely depend on the establishment of a robust payment and settlement system that is secure and guarantees finality of payment. Let me say that with the added impetus for digitalization brought on by the pandemic, Africa is now better positioned to provide the required integrated payment infrastructures and systems to boost trade.”

    Dr. Bawumia meanwhile charged Central Bank governors across Africa to facilitate collaboration amongst key stakeholders to help with the integration of payment systems in the continent.

    “In conclusion let me re–emphasize that stakeholder collaboration is necessary for the smooth operation of an integrated regional payment system.”
