According to the BIS, the increase in interest around CBDCs \u2014 up from roughly 83% in 2020 \u2014 may have been driven by a shift to digital solutions amid the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the growth in stablecoins and other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGlobally, more than two-thirds of central banks consider that they are likely to or might possibly issue a retail CBDC in either the short or medium term,\u201d said the BIS. \u201cWork on wholesale CBDCs is increasingly driven by reasons related to cross-border payments efficiency. Central banks consider CBDCs as capable of alleviating key pain points such as the limited operating hours of current payment systems and the length of current transaction chains.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nine out of 10 respondent <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CentralBanks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CentralBanks<\/a> are engaged in some form of CBDC work, according to the BIS CPMI survey.

According to the BIS survey, more than 70% of central banks are also exploring CBDCs with \u201cprivate sector collaboration and interoperability\u201d for existing payment systems. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf well-designed, a CBDC could offer access to a safe, instant and efficient digital means of payment for all population groups, including less digitally savvy groups of society,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bis.org\/review\/r220506a.htm\">said<\/a> Deutsche Bundesbank executive board member Burkhard Balz on Wednesday. \u201cIt would also be beneficial if CBDC could support offline payments.

In contrast, more than 60% of overall respondents said cryptocurrencies had \u201ctrivial or no use\u201d around domestic payments, and roughly 40% responded the same for crypto\u2019s use around cross-border payments.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>BIS Innovation Hub partners with Fed to support analysis of digital assets<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The BIS released a paper in April detailing how\u00a0some central banks saw CBDCs as a catalyst for innovation and development while others expected the digital currency to work as a complement to existing systems.
