7 Banks collaborated for the new study published by The Bank of International Settlements

 

The Bank of International Settlements (BIS) has published a new study on the implications of a retail central bank's digital currency. According to the study, the CBDC may be used to make cross-border payments more quickly and at a lower cost. They released three reports about the study, which are; The design of the CBDC, Financial Stability, and Meet the needs of the user.

The first report was, the BIS study on the impact of a CBDC on financial stability identified a variety of risks that were constrained by three major uncertainties: the future structure of the financial system, the design of a CBDC, and the extent to which users would embrace the CBDC. The pace at which a CBDC is adopted, as well as the availability of bank financing, lending, and resilience, all influence the risks to financial stability. If the usage of any CBDCs quickly replaces bank deposits, this may result in a reduction in the capacity of banks to lend, which would result in financial system instability. Nevertheless, the study states that if the transition occurs gradually, giving banks enough time to adapt, the consequences of such a change would be manageable.

Second, any CBDC environment would need a central database, as well as supporting infrastructure and regulations, but the only entities authorized to issue and redeem CBDCs would be central banks. An ecosystem's tasks may theoretically be performed by a central bank, either directly or via the use of third-party providers for certain services. It is stated in the report that CBDCs will be most successful when they are integrated with current payment systems via a public-private partnership in which financial institutions collaborate. The central bank must develop a client interface from the ground up if the CBDC is exclusively managed by them. Central banks, on the other hand, are not particularly used to providing front-line customer service or providing day-to-day financial services.

For nations that do not yet have complete private payment systems in place, the study may be of assistance. It also briefly discusses interoperability, which refers to the capacity of payment systems to share information.

And lastly, it is recommended that CBDCs address "unmet user demands" without forcing all users to purchase "new devices," according to the study on user needs and uptake. According to the jurisdictions, consumer demands and methods for promoting CBDC adoption would differ, as would be expected given the differences in economic conditions, structures, and payment landscapes. According to the study, any retail CBDC should be able to satisfy the demand that is not presently being serviced by existing payment products and services, among other things.

Seven banks collaborated with the BIS to create these studies to better align CBDCs compatibility and competitiveness with the requirements of their clients. The Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Swiss National Bank, the Central Bank of Sweden, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, and the Bank of International Settlements are among the seven banks that make up the Bank of International Settlements. The goal of the study is to guarantee the financial stability of central banks across the world.

CBDCs are seen as a way of improving the speed, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness of financial services. It is possible to issue a retail CBDC straight to wallets on cellphones, making it more accessible to people who do not have access to private banking services. A possible CBDC is being considered or tested in more than 80 nations across the globe at the time of writing. ECB is preparing for a 24-month study into the possibility of a digital euro, while the Federal Reserve of the United States intends to issue its research on the subject soon.

To boost trade, Africa is simplifying international payment systems

It's hard to transfer money between African countries. The Ghanaian king settled a bill with a Nigerian attorney. His experience highlights a systemic problem impeding Africa's economic growth: high transaction costs and inconvenience. 15% of all imports and exports occur between 55 African countries. 60% of Asian trade is within Asia. 70% in EU. The difficulty of international payments hinders African trade. There are also high tariffs, long border procedures, and congested roads. Proponents of AfCFTA say easing trade restrictions will boost trade, FDI, and economic growth. 50 million people will be lifted out of extreme poverty by 2035 due to the accord's positive impact on real income, which is projected to rise 9.1%.  Another issue: In Africa, currency values fluctuate. From July 2021 to 2022, Ghana's currency fell from 6 to 8. Volatile currencies make financial transactions more costly and risky. To overcome these problems, PAPSS facilitates financial transactions ...

Eight countries, including China, banned to own or use cryptocurrency of any kind

There are dozens of governments and jurisdictions throughout the world that have either banned or severely regulated digital money in recent years, including China. Egypt, Iraq, Qatar, Oman, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Bangladesh, and China are among the countries that have banned the use of cryptocurrency. Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, and Bolivia are among the 42 countries whose governments have either restricted or outlawed the use of digital currency exchanges or restricted banks' ability to deal with crypto. The number of countries and authorities that have overtly or tacitly banned cryptocurrencies has more than doubled since the group first issued research on the subject in 2018. According to governments that have banned cryptocurrency, criminals are using it to transfer money to criminals, and the expansion of crypto might undermine their financial systems. Many governments, including the United States, are considering regulations for cryptocurrencies despite the fact that n...

This summer, the Fed will take another step toward creating a digital money

Multiple countries' initiatives in the central bank digital currency arena, most notably China's, have heightened debate about how aggressively the Fed should act. The Federal Reserve is pushing ahead with its plans to create its own digital currency, stating that a study paper will be released this summer that will go deeper into the topic. Despite the fact that the central bank did not announce any particular plans for the currency, Chairman Jerome Powell acknowledged advancements in payments technology and stated that the Fed has been "actively monitoring and responding" to those developments. In the statement, The proper operation of our economy requires that consumers have faith and confidence not only in the dollar, but also in the payment networks, banks, and other payment service providers that allow money to flow on a regular basi...
