What changed
NDPC represented Nigeria at the Kigali Fintech Forum, discussing digital finance without borders, standards, interoperability, and trust. The forum was part of the Cross-Regulatory Project by Cambridge Judge Business School and Financial Innovation for Impact, with Nigeria as one of nine participating countries including Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Philippines, South Africa, and Uganda.\n\nThis participation provides regulatory context for Nigeria's stance on cross-border digital finance and data governance standards but does not create new compliance obligations or policy changes. Financial services firms and technology companies engaged in cross-border digital finance should monitor NDPC's international regulatory positions for future guidance direction.
