A delegation from the Central Bank of Somaliland, led by Deputy Governor Hamse Abdirahman Khayre, recently joined over 3,000 global representatives at the Inclusive Fintech Forum 2026 in Kigali, Rwanda. The international summit, which hosted delegates from more than 80 countries, centered on the modernization of payment systems, financial innovation, and strategies for expanding inclusive digital finance across emerging markets.
During the forum, Somaliland officials actively engaged with international stakeholders to explore collaborative opportunities and exchange knowledge regarding the development of robust financial technology ecosystems. A primary focus of these discussions was the enhancement of Somaliland’s national payment infrastructure, which officials view as a critical stepping stone toward broader financial inclusion and sustainable economic growth within the republic.

This economic engagement highlights Somaliland's ongoing efforts to integrate global fintech developments into its domestic financial sector. By adopting innovative digital solutions and learning from international best practices, the Central Bank of Somaliland aims to modernize its digital economy and strengthen its financial resilience, even as it continues its broader push for international recognition.
