93% of banks exploring potential CBDC: Bank of International Settlements
Central banks interested in exploring “some form” of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) rose to 93%, according to a 2022 Bank of International Settlements survey. Eighty-six banks responded to the BIS survey. However, a June survey from the Atlantic Council found that around 130 countries are exploring CBDCs. “Work on retail CBDC is more advanced than on wholesale CBDC: almost a quarter of central banks are piloting a retail CBDC. More than 80% of central banks see potential value in having both a retail CBDC and a fast payment system, mostly because a retail CBDC has specific properties and may offer additional features,” the BIS wrote.
