The value added of central bank digital currencies

Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are reshaping the financial landscape globally. Already implemented in ten countries, including Nigeria and several in the Caribbean, CBDCs offer inclusive digital payment solutions, particularly beneficial for regions with limited access to traditional banking systems. However, in more advanced financial systems, CBDCs may appear less compelling, with existing alternative digital payment methods already prevalent.

At the first session our panellists addressed what CBDCs are, debate on their pros and cons, the issues and prospects they represent.

In the second session we heard from the speakers who will share their countries' experiences with CBDCs.
