Norway’s central bank will test various technical solutions for a central bank digital currency (CBDC) over the next two years, it said on Thursday.
“Central bank cash provides the payment system with a number of important attributes that may be relevant to retain and develop further by issuing a CBDC,” Governor Oeystein Olsen said in a statement.
“Additional knowledge is necessary for us to be able to decide whether issuing a CBDC is appropriate,” he said.
