In 2021, the BIS Innovation Hub (BISIH) will begin piloting national digital currencies (CBDCs) around the world. This is stated in the project roadmap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Research will be conducted by BISIH units in Singapore, Hong Kong and Switzerland with the support of local central banks.<\/p>\n

The Singapore centre has been tasked with creating an \u201cinternational settlement platform\u201d on which regulated banks and payment firms will be able to conduct operations using CBDCs.<\/p>\n

In Hong Kong, specialists will work on tokenising green bonds, and will also build a bridge to streamline cross-currency transactions using CBDCs and study various models for issuing stablecoins.<\/p>\n

The Swiss BISIH will continue work with tokenised assets and wholesale CBDCs under the Project Helvetia initiative.<\/p>\n

“This working programme will enable central banks to capitalise on technological change for public good and to support the global financial system,” said Beno\u00eet Kere, head of the BIS Innovation Hub.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
