It is an honor for me to host this important meeting that will deliberate on pertinent issues aimed at driving forward the EAC integration Agenda. We are also grateful to have the EAC central bank Governors grace the official launch of the East African Payments System (EAPS), later today.
The launch of EAPS marks a key milestone in the EAC integration process and will improve the efficiency of the payments system in the region. This is one of the targeted quick wins by the EAC central banks.
