Othman Boukrami joined Harald Røine from Breakthrough Moments Podcast to discuss TCX’s role in enabling (indexed) local currency lending to borrowers in underserved markets.
Access to finance in local currency is a game-changer—it mitigates foreign exchange risks, strengthens financial stability, and empowers businesses and communities to grow without the burden of currency volatility.
