Event Summary
The debate about central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) is gradually evolving from a high level of abstraction to more specific consideration of concrete projects. The Bank of England has made a significant contribution in the form of a consultation paper published in February 2023. This episode of Financial Statements starts from that basis to discuss the broader policy questions raised by CBDCs.
