CBL launches e-payment forum to boost digital finance and banking reform
Libya's Central Bank (CBL) inaugurated the country's first Electronic Payment Forum and Exhibition on Sunday at the Tripoli International Fairgrounds, as part of a broader strategy to modernize its financial infrastructure and accelerate digital transformation across the banking sector.
Held under the patronage of the Central Bank Governor, the two-day forum brings together all commercial banks operating in Libya alongside local and international e-payment providers. The event is designed to highlight cutting-edge digital payment technologies and promote financial inclusion in a country where access to banking services remains uneven.
In a statement, the Central Bank said the forum will feature high-level panel discussions and expert-led workshops focused on the challenges and opportunities facing Libya's e-payment ecosystem. Innovative solutions aligned with global standards for security and efficiency will also be on display.
Officials say the initiative reflects a push to deepen collaboration between the banking and technology sectors, and to encourage fintech innovation that could unlock broader economic benefits. Economy Tagged: CBL Electronic Payment Forum
