MBABANE -The Ministry of Finance, through the Centre for Financial Inclusion (CFI), has taken a significant step forward. A high-level meeting of the Financial Inclusion Technical Committee was recently convened to finalise the implementation roadmap for the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) 2024–2028.
Held in a collaborative and forward-looking atmosphere, the session saw the Committee refine its Terms of Reference, ensuring clear guidance as it embarks on executing its critical mandate. To boost efficiency and focus, thematic working groups will be formed to drive progress across the strategy’s core pillars.
Reflecting the nation’s multi-sectoral commitment, the gathering brought together representatives from key institutions including the Central Bank of Eswatini, Financial Services Regulatory Authority, Ministry of Economic Planning and Development, Eswatini Association of Savings and Credit Associations, Eswatini Economic Policy Analysis and Research Centre, Eswatini Bankers Association, Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Trade, and the Ministry of Agriculture.
This united approach underscores Government’s dedication to advancing inclusive finance—ensuring that every Emaswati, regardless of their background, can access quality, affordable financial services. The 2024–2028 Strategy is poised to open doors, uplift communities, and foster economic resilience across the Kingdom.
