Presentation
CBDC Academy - Bridging top down and bottom up requirements for CBDC design
We know a lot about the requirements of central banks for CBDC design but what about the users? And how can various CBDC designs bridge the needs of sovereign banks and the public? In this interactive session we’ll explore central bank and public perspectives using the findings of new research on payment choice and behaviours in Brazil. The session aims to uncover deeper insights to inform the design of CBDC solutions that match central bank priorities while enabling the broadest potential for public uptake.
