CBDC Broadcast #4 - CBDC Motivations, Challenges and Design Choices- A Perspective from the UK and Canada

About this Episode

With:

| Francisco Rivadeneyra, Bank of Canada
| Mehregan Ameri, Bank of England

There are many motivations for rolling out a CBDC, from achieving higher financial inclusion and higher transactional efficiency to preserving monetary sovereignty by compensating for the declining use of cash, and by countering the entrance of new private forms of digital currencies.

Each country has a different set of features and objectives that influence a CBDC’s design, making the roll-out a tailored process.

In this fourth session of FNA’s CBDC Broadcast, we talk to Dr Francisco Rivadeneyra from the Bank of Canada and Mehregan Ameri from the Bank of England to gain an insight into CBDCs from a G7 perspective
