By June, Zambia plans to finish tests simulating real-world digital asset use that will help it craft crypto regulations.
Cryptocurrency regulation tests aiming to help shape crypto laws in Zambia that simulate the real-world use of crypto are on track to finish by June., Zambia’s innovation, science and technology minister, Felix Mutati, said the purpose of conducting the tests was to help the government “see what would happen in the real world,” to assist in forming crypto regulations.
Zambia’s central bank and securities regulator commenced the tests on Feb. 19, which Mutati said was looking to balance safety and innovation: “Our main goal in the area of cryptocurrency is to strike a balance between innovation in terms of digital payments [...] against citizens’ safety, particularly given that cryptocurrency is very volatile.”
Additionally, Mutati stated that before cryptocurrencies can be introduced, digital identities and other digital infrastructures need to be implemented.Although Zambia’s debt restructuring process has been “long delayed,” with the largest portion of its debt owed to creditors from China, Mutati suggested it hasn’t deterred investment in Zambia.Zambia was the first African country to default at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
, the country’s treasury secretary, Felix Nkulukusa, said thathe nation could lose the gains it achieved from its macroeconomic reforms if the debt restructuring is delayed further.
