The Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) won “Maya Declaration” award, presented by the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI), during activities of the Global Policy Forum (GPF) 2024 held in El Salvador.
The award reflects AFI’s appreciation and recognition of the Kingdom’s effective role, represented by the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ), said a bank statement on Thursday.
The statement noted the award also came in appreciation of the CBJ’s initiatives and its “distinguished” role in improving access to financial services and products for all segments of society, individuals and business sectors, based on their needs through official financial institutions, and reflects the bank’s commitment to fulfill its responsibilities in “Maya Declaration.”
In this regard, the CBJ launched the National Financial Inclusion Strategy and the Green Finance Strategy (2023-2028) and the National Strategy for E-Payments (2023-2025).
Since 2016, the CBJ announced its commitment to “Maya Declaration,” a global initiative launched by
the AFI in 2011, aimed to achieve sustainable financial inclusion, as member states set goals and commitments of “Maya Declaration,” within several axes that contribute to realizing financial inclusion.
