Joint Intereconomics/Bruegel Conference in Brussels (hybrid event)

Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are reshaping the financial landscape globally. Already implemented in ten countries, CBDCs offer inclusive digital payment solutions, particularly beneficial for regions with limited access to traditional banking systems. However, in more advanced financial systems, CBDCs may appear less compelling. The joint event addressed what CBDCs are, discussed the issues and prospects they represent, and explored countries' experiences with CBDCs.

Studies and conclusions of the conference speakers are published in the Forum of Intereconomics No. 4 / 202.
