News: #CBE launches digital wallet for inward foreign currency transfers The Commercial Bank of #Ethiopia (CBE), in partnership with local company StarPay Financial Services, has launched a digital wallet application, “CBE Connect,” to facilitate the transfer of foreign currency into the country.

Stress tests highlight significant capital and liquidity risks, reinforcing the author’s warning that “consolidation is not merely a strategic choice but a requirement for survival.” He recommends that smaller “third-generation” banks form partnerships with larger private banks and endorses a “guided voluntary” approach, designed not to mandate consolidation but to facilitate market-led combination. https://addisstandard.com/?p=56167
