Blake appeared on The Dive this week with Sascha to talk about the Reserve Bank - and their trial of the use of a central bank digital currency here in Australia. The world is rapidly moving towards a cashless society – Cash was used for 59% of point-of-sale transactions in 2022, down from 72% in 2019. But in Australia less than 25% of transactions use cash, in the UK it’s just 15% and in Norway, only 3% of payment transactions are cash!So our currency is basically digital already. So when the RBA announced plans to create a Central Bank Digital Currency our biggest question was… Why? Isn’t the Aussie Dollar pretty digital already?So we set out to better understand this emerging world of Central Bank Digital Currencies or CBDC’s today.Tell us what you think of The Dive – email us at thedive@equitymates.com.
