Are you ready for Central Bank Digital Currencies – Like the e-CNY?

About this meeting

The pandemic has accelerated the world’s move away from cash. With the shift towards both card payments and mobile payments, central banks across the world are having to think more intently about the future of payments.

It’s not just about the decline of cash. Central banks report many reasons for exploring a CBDC – from improving the safety or robustness of the payments system, to improving payments efficiency, to viewing it as a monetary policy tool to spurring financial inclusion.

A more advanced pilot is taking place in China. The Peoples Bank of China has been developing its e-CNY, with more than 10,000 merchants participating in domestic trials in 2020, and wider trials taking place through 2021.

The PBoC’s pilot is likely to make further progress in the course of 2021 and is likely to be an important guide as how CBDCs will be developed and used in the years ahead. Join Paul Mackel, global head of FX research at HSBC, and fellow NeuGroup members in this virtual interactive session to learn more.
