Egypt’s Central Bank (CBE), in collaboration with the COMESA Monetary Institute (CMI), has organized a training course focused on the Application of Big Data Analysis and Artificial Intelligence in Central Banking. The course, which aligns with presidential directives to support Egyptian-African cooperation and integration, took place from August 27 to 31.
The training course gathered approximately 35 participants from 9 central banks representing COMESA member states, along with a delegation from the COMESA Monetary Institute. Participants were divided into work groups to engage in discussions concerning the latest issues and challenges related to big data and artificial intelligence in the field of central banking.
The CBE remains committed to supporting capacity building for the staff of African central banks, as emphasized by Naglaa Nozahie, the Governor’s Advisor for African Affairs at the CBE. This year’s training initiative marks the ninth consecutive year in which the CBE has provided valuable courses to enhance the skills and knowledge of central bank employees in COMESA countries.
