UAE, Saudi Arabia using fintech for cross-border settlements | Reuters:
The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have started using fintech for cross-border settlements, including a digital currency which they jointly developed for that purpose, the UAE’s central bank governor said on Wednesday.
Mubarak Rashed al-Mansouri, speaking at a financial technology conference in Abu Dhabi, also said the UAE central bank was working on a strategic plan to develop fintech which would be supported by a legislative and regulatory framework.
Mansouri said fintech could play a major role in improving financial inclusion — the provision of affordable financial services across the economy — and noted that the legal mandate of the central bank now included fostering financial inclusion.
