BIS has published this report in collaboration with BoE, Bank of Canada, Bank of Japan, ECB, the Federal Reserve, Sveriges Riksbank, and Swiss National Bank. It highlights three key principles for a central bank digital currency and sets out core features, including an “appropriate” role for the private sector. The group will continue to work together on central bank digital currencies, without prejudging any decision on whether or not to introduce them in their jurisdictions.
