Mutati remarks that “cryptocurrency is the future the country desires to achieve.” However, a policy framework is needed to regulate this “revolutionary technology.”
In the published announcement, Mutati states that the testing will soon be upscaled to help Zambia ensure an “inclusive digital economy,” mentioning that the government targets to reach over $4.7 million in terms of digital payments, which will help bridge the financial exclusion gap in Zambia.
Speaking in Lusaka, the capital city, the minister also shared Zambia’s aim to become a technology hub in Africa. “Zambia has created magnetism that attracts investments, and it is one of the countries in Africa that is becoming a must-be place for investment,” said Mutati.
“Zambia is not the first African country to put an emphasis on crypto and blockchain technology. The African continent is booming and countries will need to keep up with the growing market,” said Abhi – Head of Marketing MENA “Zambia is full of potential and it is great seeing them take initiative.”

Regulators in other African countries are also looking to establish better frameworks for cryptocurrency. Nigeria, one of the first countries to adopt CBDCs, presented in December its ផែនការ to regulate cryptocurrency to better “flow with global economic innovations”.
More recently, The Central Bank of Nigeria published a របាយការណ៍ មានចំណងជើងថា "ចក្ខុវិស័យប្រព័ន្ធទូទាត់នីហ្សេរីយ៉ាឆ្នាំ 2025" ដើម្បីបង្កើតក្របខ័ណ្ឌច្បាប់ជុំវិញស្ថេរភាពកាក់ និង ICO ។
