Africa Financial Sector Responses to COVID-19 - Sao Tome et Principe

As an active actor committed to the AFS development and resilience, Making Finance Work for Africa (MFW4A) has implemented a number of recent initiatives to strengthen the resilience of the African financial sector.

In addition to its webinars series and discussions aimed at identifying the sector's difficulties and solutions, a portal dedicated to national and domestic responses to the impact of COVID-19 on the regional financial sector has been set up. Indeed, the exercise consists in collecting and classifying by country or region the measures taken by governments, central banks and DFIS in favor of the resilience of the AFS vis-à-vis the financial impact of the pandemic. 

This page presents measures and initiatives by the government of Sao Tome and Principe, national central bank and Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) in favor of the resilience of the domestic financial sector facing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
