CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a sovereign digital form of money issued by central banks to complement physical cash and existing digital payment systems. It aims to enhance payment efficiency, financial inclusion, monetary sovereignty, and cross-border transactions while offering a safer alternative to private digital currencies. However, challenges related to cybersecurity, privacy, banking stability, and interoperability necessitate a cautious, phased, and well-regulated implementation supported by strong domestic and international coordination.
