The strategy was approved by the Board of the Central Bank of Seychelles (CBS) on March 20, 2026, and supports CBS\u2019s mandate to safeguard financial stability.<\/p>\n<p>As a small island state, Seychelles is particularly exposed to climate change risks, including coastal erosion associated with sea level rise, flooding and other impacts of extreme weather events such as intense rainfall and storm surges, which can affect infrastructure, households, businesses and key sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the global transition to a low-carbon economy may also impact certain activities and investments. These developments can have implications for both customers and the banking sector. The strategy aims to enhance the banking sector\u2019s capacity to understand and respond to climate-related financial risks while supporting economic activity, strengthening resilience across the sector and contributing to national climate resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Key areas of focus include:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 supporting the banking sector in identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing such risks,<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 enhancing planning and transparency in risk management practices,<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 strengthening CBS\u2019s supervisory framework, and<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 aligning Seychelles with international standards and best practices.<\/p>\n<p>Actions outlined under the strategy include developing supervisory guidelines for the banking sector, improving climate-related data collection and availability, building technical expertise within CBS and the banking sector, and conducting regular assessments of climate-related financial risks.<\/p>\n<p>The strategy reflects CBS\u2019 proactive approach to addressing emerging risks and ensuring that the financial system remains resilient and aligned with both national priorities and global developments.<\/p>\n<p>It also forms part of CBS\u2019 broader work to develop a Sustainable Finance Roadmap for Seychelles, which will encourage sustainable business practices, strengthen risk management, support sustainable economic development and promote trust and confidence in the banking sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Seychelles<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Seychelles.
