People in Vanuatu are set to benefit from a new national digital payment platform, part of an ongoing transformation of the nation's financial infrastructure to build a modern, resilient financial system.

The foundation has announced its disbursal of local-currency loans to Togo-based Assilassimé Solidarite in an amount approximately equivalent to $2.5 million and Agora Microfinance Zambia in an amount approximately equivalent to $1.2 million.

The National Fund for Inclusive Finance is putting in place mechanisms to support its partnering microfinance institutions amidst the COVID-19 crisis.
