Navigating the Path to CBDC Adoption

Abstract

As central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) continue to gain global interest, establishing effective strategies for widespread adoption is crucial, yet remains unestablished. This concise exploration underscores the importance of stakeholder buy-in, extensive public awareness, and robust value propositions. Emphasis is given to leveraging strategic partnerships and aligning mutual benefits to secure substantial commercial participation, while multidimensional education initiatives can help foster a clear understanding of CBDCs among potential users. A persistent theme is the necessity of intertwining CBDC operations with user expectations, which involves creating an accessible, easy-to-use, and inclusive digital currency. By incorporating realistic timeframes in the gradual adoption process, the road to integration becomes more manageable, avoiding potential destabilisation of the financial landscape.
