BSP Looks Deeper Into CBDC Viability

During a virtual briefing late last week, BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno said the Bangko Sentral has already documented the developments and initiatives of other central banks on CBDC in a report released last month.

A CBDC is a digital form of central bank money that is denominated in a national unit of account and functions as both a medium of exchange and a store of value.
