Summary

The mission helped the BCRD to assess a CBDC's potential macro-financial, legal, and financial integrity implications, and shared lessons from other countries' CBDC and digital money projects, technology considerations, practices for stakeholder engagement, and how CBDC can increase financial inclusion, among others. The mission advised the BCRD to continue the exploration of macro-financial implications of a CBDC, conduct the legal framework revisions should a positive decision of CBDC be taken, assess risks to financial integrity once a firmer design choice is made, and build up technology knowledge and capacity meanwhile.
