The Algeria Market Authority (COSOB) announced the formal installation, alongside the Banking Training Institute, of the Governance Committee for the Algerian Financial Technology Academy. The step turns a strategic agreement reached at the third Annual Conference of the Algerian Financial Market into an operational structure and forms part of the roadmap to modernize Algeria's financial sector and support a national FinTech ecosystem. The committee brings together experts and representatives from COSOB and the Banking Training Institute and has a strategic mandate to steer the academy and align its programs with international standards. Its work is organized around three areas: setting the vision and operating framework for financial technology development and innovation support, overseeing specialized training in digital finance, innovation and cybersecurity, and strengthening communication and exchange between traditional financial market participants and FinTech innovators.
