The pace at which central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) projects are being developed points to a potentially rapid and widespread implementation of CBDCs. In addition to the many advantages of CBDCs – such as a reduction in the level of credit and liquidity risk in the financial system, a decrease in the cost of international transfers, and an increase in financial inclusiveness – there may also be negative consequences associated with the widespread implementation of CBDCs. It is important that the legal system be ready for the challenges of implementing CBDCs. A key issue that was discussed during the Seminar was determining how central bank digital currency (CBDC) projects being developed in democratic countries should be shaped.
