A delegation from the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) is currently in Swakopmund, Namibia, participating in the Global Policy Forum (GPF) organized by the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI). The forum brings together central banks, regulators, and financial policymakers from across the world to share experiences, strengthen cooperation, and advance financial inclusion policies. The CBL staff attending the forum represent key departments, including Payment Systems, Development Finance, Regulation & Supervision, and Corporate Communications.
Their participation underscores the Bank’s commitment to aligning Liberia with international best practices in financial sector development. The Global Policy Forum serves as a platform for policymakers to exchange innovative solutions on financial inclusion, digital finance, and regulatory reforms. This year’s discussions are expected to focus on inclusive financial systems, strengthening consumer protection, advancing digital payment solutions, and enhancing financial literacy—areas that remain central to Liberia’s ongoing reforms.
The CBL delegation is expected to return with new insights, skills, and knowledge that will further support the Bank’s major programs, including the ongoing National Financial Education Campaign. This initiative aims to build financial literacy across the country, empowering Liberians to make informed decisions about savings, investments, and responsible financial practices. The Central Bank continues to emphasize the importance of financial inclusion as a driver of economic growth, poverty reduction, and national development.
By participating in the Global Policy Forum, the CBL is reaffirming its determination to modernize Liberia’s financial sector and expand access to safe, affordable, and reliable financial services for all citizens. The Bank extends appreciation to the Alliance for Financial Inclusion for providing the platform to foster peer learning and international cooperation. The knowledge and partnerships gained from this engagement will contribute significantly to strengthening Liberia’s financial ecosystem.
