As digital innovation rapidly reshapes financial systems worldwide, central banks face the dual imperative of enabling innovation while preserving monetary and financial stability. This round table brings together Central Bank Governors and senior policymakers to examine how regulatory and supervisory frameworks must evolve to support the next digital economy one defined by virtual currencies, tokenized assets, and increasingly democratized cross-border payments.

The round table aims to foster a shared understanding of how central banks can proactively shape regulatory frameworks that enable responsible innovation, support resilient and inclusive growth, and position African economies as credible and competitive participants in the global digital financial ecosystem.
