The real success of Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), digital forms of sovereign money issued by central banks, will depend less on technology and more on whether people trust governments and central banks with their financial data, suggests a new study, warning that retail CBDCs could improve payment efficiency and financial inclusion, but weak privacy rules, poor communication and fears of surveillance could stop people from using them.<\/p>\n

Published in FinTech, the study “Trust, Privacy, and Adoption: A Global Policy Framework for Central Bank Digital Currencies, develops a global policy framework for retail CBDCs by examining privacy, trust and adoption risks across major CBDC cases, including the Bahamas Sand Dollar, Nigeria’s eNaira, China’s e-CNY and the proposed digital euro.<\/p>\n

Supporters argue that CBDCs could make payments faster, cheaper and more inclusive, particularly in countries where many people remain outside the formal banking system.<\/p>\n

According to the study, these benefits will be hard to achieve unless CBDCs answer a major public concern: who can see users’ transactions and under what conditions. Unlike cash, a CBDC can create a digital record of payments. The record may help regulators detect money laundering, terrorist financing, tax evasion and sanctions breaches. However, it can also raise fears that governments could monitor daily spending, political activity, religious giving or personal behavior.<\/p>\n

Now, central banks face a key policy problem: If a CBDC is designed with too much anonymity, it could be misused for illicit finance. If it is designed with too much visibility, citizens may reject it as a surveillance tool. The study argues that policymakers must find a workable middle ground where privacy and…<\/p>\n
