Could an African payment system end dollar dependence?

Original: Explainer| Would the African payment system liberate Africa from the US dollar?

A new explainer examines whether Africa's developing pan-African payment system could reduce the continent's reliance on the US dollar in cross-border trade. The piece weighs the potential of settling intra-African transactions in local currencies against practical hurdles such as currency volatility, weak infrastructure and fragmented regulation across African economies.

Why now: Growing momentum behind de-dollarisation efforts and African financial integration is driving interest in whether the system can realistically challenge dollar dominance.
