The University of Greenwich in association with the Global Policy Institute is pleased to announce a 2024 Conference.

The CBDC Era: The Current Development and Future of Central Bank Digital Currencies

This year’s half-day conference aims to develop the discussion of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) from the position elaborated at the April 2023 GPI conference, indicating both the progress made internationally and domestically and exploring research agendas that need to be pursued with financial and non-financial businesses, central banks, commercial banks, and social and political institutions.

While taking account of technological developments, such as tokenization, the research agendas should not solely be driven by technology. There is a need to explore the overall monetary, economic, and societal implications, the impacts on non-financial businesses as well as financial organizations, and the national and international legal and regulatory implications.

Speakers will be from the Bank of England, Clifford Chance, SWIFT (tbc), Ernst and Young, GPI, and University of Greenwich.

Tickets are available via Eventbrite.

This is a free event. Full conference programme will be announced shortly.
