#US lawmakers introduce bill to assess barriers to #Somaliland’s financial access Lawmakers in the United States Congress have introduced a bill requiring the U.S. Treasury to examine obstacles limiting Somaliland’s access to the American and global financial system, in a move that could deepen economic engagement with the Horn of Africa nation. The legislation, H.R. 7993, known as the Somaliland Economic Access and Opportunity Act, was introduced by Representative John Rose and co-sponsored by Representative Pat Harrigan and Representative Andrew Ogles , according to congressional records. The bill directs the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury to submit a comprehensive report to Congress within 180 days outlining legal, regulatory and technical barriers that restrict Somaliland’s access to financial systems, including banking channels and international payment networks. https://www.horndiplomat.com/u-s-lawmakers-introduce-bill-to-assess-barriers-to-somalilands-financial-access/
