The UAE's Smart Dubai Strategy focuses on creating a paperless and cashless government, which includes the development of the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) – the Digital Dirham. Further, Egypt has taken proactive measures by developing national payment systems and supervised frameworks to reduce the risks associated with digital payments.
Essay also highlighted the growing importance of ESG in MENA's cashless agenda and PayerMax strives to contribute to ESG goals with our partners.
