March 15, 2022
The theme of this year's World Consumer Rights Day, which is on 15th March, is 'Digital Finance.'
In his message for the occasion, Minister Naadir Hassan, acknowledged the 'immense potential and benefits of digital financial services/platforms.'
"They can play a pivotal role in modernising various sectors and paving the way towards digitalising the economy as a whole, making the country more competitive globally."
However, he warned that the platforms do come with its pitfalls, thus efforts should focus on enabling a safer digital environment for consumers.
"Efforts should be concentrated towards enabling decision makers to build a digital financial marketplace that is inclusive, safe, data protected & private, and sustainable for everyone"
