Sudan has joined the United Nations Alliance for Digital Payments, to accelerate the transition from printed cash to digital payments, to increase financial inclusion and transparency, and to take steps to build a strong economy.

In this context, Sudanese Finance Minister Ibrahim Al-Badawi said that the move comes within the framework of the government's long-term vision to move from dealing in printed cash to digital payments and the commitment to build an inclusive economy. Al-Badawi emphasized that digital transformation will stimulate the private sector, and ensure that government resources and services are provided in a fair manner to all Sudanese, which would support efforts to achieve the revival of the national economy.

The United Nations Alliance for Digital Payments has approximately 75 members from governments, companies and international organizations committed to accelerating the transition from printed cash to digital payments to achieve the sustainable development goals.

Sudan’s joining of a “better coalition of cash” comes to fulfill the government's vision and commitment to the renaissance of the Sudanese economy, and to start the transition from dealing in printed cash to digital payments, in all types of financial transactions, to increase financial inclusion and transparency, and to take steps to build a strong economy.
