The Bank of the Republic of Burundi has launched a nine-day training programme for staff responsible for banking supervision and payment systems, focused on the oversight of digital payment systems. The initiative is intended to strengthen supervisory capacity as digital payment activity expands. The programme runs from 4 to 14 August 2025 and covers the financial sector’s digitalisation strategy, the technical and operational logic underpinning digital payment ecosystems, and identification of technologies suited to Burundi’s market to support financial inclusion. It also aims to improve understanding of supervisory technology (Suptech) to enhance data collection and communication with supervised institutions, enabling faster detection of anomalies and risks, better consumer protection, and support for broader financial sector stability. The training is positioned as part of the objective to fully digitalise Burundi’s payment systems in 2026.
