CBDCs: It’s time for action

Central bank digital currencies have been on the lips of almost every central banker in the world for several years, but few have taken the plunge and actually launched one. The payments world is evolving at a breakneck pace, and the financial system is facing major challenges that could be solved by CBDCs.
To explore the factors contributing to the limited launch of CBDCs, OMFIF’s Digital Monetary Institute has conducted a landmark survey of central banks, examining their opinions on CBDCs, what they hope to achieve with one and what elements they are struggling with. We have also explored the implications that may arise from any delays in the issuance of CBDC. The results of this survey will be featured in a report, produced in partnership with G+D.
Join us to learn what is holding up CBDC deployments and discuss the importance of moving ahead.
