The Bank of Cape Verde published a Payments System Report describing progress in 2024 on projects aimed at improving efficiency, innovation, security and inclusion in the payments market. Key developments include the definition of a national strategy to implement an Immediate and Inclusive Transfer System (STII) and a package of legal reforms intended to modernise the payments market. The report frames the STII as an important tool for financial inclusion and also provides statistical data tracking the payments system’s evolution over time.
