NPS Vision and Strategy Document 2025

The Central Bank of Eswatini issued this strategy document to modernize the national payment system by 2025 through seven strategic imperatives spanning digitalization, regulatory frameworks, cross-border coordination, and payment innovation. The framework mandates the expansion of mobile money and real-time payment infrastructure, the phasing out of cheques, and the establishment of a comprehensive risk-based regulatory regime for domestic and cross-border transactions. It further requires enhanced stakeholder collaboration, the development of a formal innovation sandbox, and targeted policy actions to ensure financial inclusion, interoperability, and systemic stability across Eswatini’s evolving digital economy.
