Towards Central Bank Digital Currencies in Asia and the Pacific : Results of a Regional Survey / Sarwat Jahan, Elena Loukoianova, Evan Papageorgiou, Natasha Che.

The survey finds that there is significant heterogeneity in terms of stage of development, but the emergence of private crypto assets has created an impetus to consider CBDCs. While most countries are engaged in research and development, with some at advanced stages of testing and pilots, very few countries are likely to issue CBDCs in the near-to-medium term, reflecting the still considerable uncertainties. Still, country experiences so far provide some key insights for others in their journey in this area.
