“# Central banks should be ready with CBDCs, says Bank of Canada exec <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

According to an Oct. 15 report<\/a> from The Canadian Press, the Bank of Canada, or BoC, deputy governor Timothy Lane said central banks should have their own digital currency ready should regulators block Facebook<\/a>\u2019s Libra token. They also noted such an asset’s potential importance as a possible solution for the economic realities of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Lane spoke at an online panel discussion hosted by the Central Bank Payments Conference, stating that the Bank of Canada has been developing a central bank digital currency, or CBDC, at “a good pace.” He said the bank would need to hold consultations regarding what Canadians expected from a digital currency, but added Facebook’s efforts introducing Libra could help improve cross-border payments. He additionally noted that it could help unbanked and underbanked people become part of the global economy.<\/p>\n

The deputy governor\u2019s comments are a change from those in pre-pandemic February, when he declared that there was \u201cnot a compelling case\u201d for the bank to create a CBDC. <\/p>\n

Canada’s central bank recently released a report calling CBDCs \u201crisky,\u201d given the competition among crypto exchanges and banks, and how the digital currency is used for transactions.<\/p>\n

This story is developing and will be updated.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
