\u201cThe signing of this Letter of Intent continues the agreement signed in January of this year, now including the Central Bank of North Macedonia. The Bank of Italy, with the approval of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank, as the developer and operator of the Eurosystem\u2019s instant payment system (TIPS), is building the TIPS Clone system to provide this infrastructure to several Western Balkan countries, including Kosovo,\u201d the announcement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It further noted that this project represents CBK\u2019s most important infrastructural and strategic initiative, contributing to the achievement of the institution\u2019s objectives and Strategic Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis strategic partnership with the Bank of Italy marks a historic moment for Kosovo, enabling it to benefit from professional and technical expertise, as well as the use of an advanced system currently operated by the Eurosystem. Additional benefits are expected to materialize with Kosovo\u2019s membership in SEPA,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The development of the system by the professional team from the Bank of Italy is considered a key factor for the project\u2019s success, especially in a context where technological developments and geopolitical aspects are of particular importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CBK remains committed to advancing the financial sector through concrete projects that help achieve its objectives, bringing broad benefits for businesses, citizens, and the economy in general, while international cooperation provides crucial support for their implementation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
