TOPIC

Digitizing the Public Sector to Drive a Cashless

ABSTRACT

Public sector digitalization is no longer an option for the public sector; it is now a real and urgent imperative to improve public services via the deployment of digital payments, payment infrastructure and payments data. Digital payments play a key role in almost every interaction of the public sector with citizens and businesses. Public sector expenditure is one of the biggest components of national economies and can support SMB growth, foster social responsibility, and spur innovation. With modern payments technology, it acts as a key enabler and provides an opportunity to public disbursement programs. A well-developed digital infrastructure and digital payments can empower governments to get vital financial support to people and businesses in need as quickly and effectively as possible.
