Several central banks around the world, including the Bank of Canada, are exploring central bank digital currency (CBDC). There are many benefits that a CBDC could bring to an economy, however, there are complexities and uncertainties as well. What considerations are being made by central banks AND governments prior to the creation of a digital currency? What are the complexities and risks with introducing a CBDC? The Paypod host Cyrielle Chiron is joined by Rod Garratt, Pellish Chair in Economics, University of California Santa Barbara, and Francisco Rivadeneyra, Director, CBDC &amp; FinTech Policy, Funds Management and Banking, Bank of Canada, to discuss the current thinking around CBDCs.
