central bank digital currency

A central bank digital currency (CBDC) is a form of digital money issued and regulated by a country’s central bank. It represents a digital version of the nation’s official currency and is a liability of the central bank, rather than of a commercial bank. CBDCs are designed to provide the safety and stability of central bank money in a digital format, potentially improving payment efficiency, financial inclusion, and monetary policy implementation.
