Juba, Nov. 18, 2025 – Hon. Samuel Yeni Costa, the newly appointed Governor of the Bank of South Sudan (BoSS), on Tuesday met with commercial banks to discuss the country’s persistent cash shortage.
Governor Yeni Costa emphasized the importance of close coordination between the central bank and commercial banks to stabilize liquidity, ensure smooth financial operations, and restore public confidence.
Hon. Yeni noted, “We must work together to find practical solutions that keep money flowing in the economy and support both businesses and citizens.”
BoSS First Deputy Governor Samuel Yanga Mikaya encouraged the adoption of digital banking, saying, “Some believe that without cash they cannot make purchases, but this is not necessarily true. Vendors should understand that digital payments are a viable alternative to cash.”
The Chairperson of the Bankers Association, Madam Bruna Cirisio, and commercial bank representatives welcomed the initiative, calling the dialogue a key step toward resolving liquidity challenges.
The meeting was also attended by BoSS Director General for Supervision and Regulation Dr. Majok Mading.
