Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Wednesday said it decided to push through with the pilot project of a wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC), as it seeks to boost the stability of the country’s payment system.

In an emailed statement, the central bank said the project is dubbed as CBDCPh, which will look into the use of digital currencies for large transactions on a 24/7 basis.

The test will cover a limited number of financial institutions, which Governor Benjamin Diokno said would better understand the opportunities and risks of wholesale CBDCs.
