The Bank of Korea plans to conduct a digital currency experiment from August this year to June next year.

The Bank of Korea is planning to conduct a central bank digital currency (CBDC) experiment from August this year to June next year. A budget of up to 4.96 billion won is scheduled to be invested in the project. The central bank is going to sign a contract with an agent to be in charge of the experiment in July this year.

The experiment is divided into two phases. In the first, an experiment environment will be prepared and the basic functions of its digital currency will be tested. The second will cover functional expansion and personal information protection.
