According to an official statement, Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), stated at a high-level policy roundtable on central bank digital currency (CBDC) that cross-institutional cooperation is very important for achieving the benefits of CBDC and interoperability of payment systems. The IMF's mission is to help ensure that digital currencies, including CBDC, promote domestic and international economic and financial stability.
In addition, the IMF is about to release two documents on CBDC, one on “CBDC and Private Digital Payments in Sub-Saharan Africa” and the other on “CBDC Roadmap for the Middle East and Central Asia”, which will provide new analysis and learning for these regions.
