According to Emirates News Agency, the programme, titled ‘Integrated Program on Cybersecurity, Payments and Supervision,’ hosted twenty employees from the BoSS to enhance institutional, technical, and supervisory capabilities, and support the adoption of international best practices in central banking operations. The training covered four key areas: payment systems, cybersecurity, cloud governance, and risk-based supervision.
The programme also included field visits to various CBUAE’s departments, where the delegation was introduced to best practices in monetary policy, financial stability, and the development of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). These visits delivered valuable insights, highlighting the UAE’s leading position and the CBUAE’s achievements in driving financial innovation and digital transformation across the financial sector.
The training programme reflects the CBUAE’s and the EIF’s commitment to strengthening global partnerships and advancing banking sector capabilities. It was delivered in collaboration with prominent international partners, including Visa, Amazon Web Services, Fitch Learning, and EC-Council.
