Today, in the National Bank of the Republic of Macedonia, the Strategy for Development of the Payment System of the Republic of Macedonia for the 2013-2017 period has been publicly presented.
The Strategy is a result of a year-long active coordination through the National Payment Systems Council of all parties involved in the payment system and represents a common vision for its development in the following five years. The Strategy was presented through the speeches of the Governor of the National Bank of the Republic of Macedonia, Dimitar Bogov, the Vice-Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of the Republic of Macedonia, Zoran Stavreski and the Chairperson of the Banking Association, George Janchevski. The heads of these three institutions, founders of the National Council and carriers of the payment system development, signed a joint Statement of Acceptance of the Strategy as a clear signal of support for its implementation. During the event, the Chairperson of the National Council, Emilija Nacevska, held a short presentation of the strategic vision and planned activities. The future development of the national payment system is directed towards satisfying the needs of the payment services users, the application of the latest technological developments and towards further harmonization of the operations with the international and European standards and rules, which will contribute to increase the reliability and efficiency of payments and greater acceptance of non-cash payment instruments, enabling also gradual fulfillment of the requirements for integration into the single European payment area when the Republic of Macedonia joins the European Union.
The public presentation of the Strategy was attended by representatives of the National Bank, the Ministry of Finance, the commercial banks, KIBS, CASYS, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Stock Exchange, the Central Depository, the Central Registry, as well as by representatives of the EU Delegation in the country and other International Organizations and media.
