The Ministry of Information Communication Technologies<\/a> (ICTs), Utilities and Energy, in collaboration with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), has officially launched a two-day workshop aimed at advancing digital financial services<\/a> (DFS) in Antigua and Barbuda. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The workshop <\/a>is being held in person at the Trade Winds Hotel.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The event brings together a diverse group of stakeholders, including government officials, technology experts, and representatives from financial institutions, to discuss innovative strategies for enhancing financial inclusion <\/a>through digital platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hon. Melford Nicholas, Minister of ICTs, opened the proceedings by acknowledging the pressing need for digital transformation in government and the private sector.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cleveland Thomas, the ITU representative, emphasized the significance of digital assets in promoting financial inclusion, particularly through initiatives such as the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank\u2019s D-Cash program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He remarked on the transformative potential of digital financial services, noting that over 2 billion adults globally remain unbanked, while 1.6 billion have mobile phones. “By bringing the unbanked into the formal economy, we unlock new avenues for growth and prosperity,” he stated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The workshop will focus on key areas, including the establishment of a National DFS Security Task Force, the sharing of security standards, and a comprehensive review of past initiatives aimed at strengthening the digital financial services ecosystem in Antigua and Barbuda. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Participants will engage in discussions to implement recommendations and best practices for securing mobile payment systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister Nicholas highlighted the need to adapt swiftly to the changing landscape of digital services, particularly in light of the increasing demand from the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop represents a critical step toward fostering an inclusive financial environment that meets the needs of vulnerable populations and supports economic development across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
