While private digital currencies like bitcoin and Ether appear to be gaining prominence, Central Banks worldwide are considering a countermeasure through a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Apparently, the Battle of the Coins is imminent.
However, with the exception of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Bank of Ghana, few CBDC-related activities are seen in Africa. This calls for an examination into the state of CBDC in Africa and the theme for the inaugural Fellowship/Policy Report.
Benefits
- Weekly intimate sessions with experts on topics relating to the theme.
- Opportunity to collaborate on the creation of the first Africa continent-wide report on CBDC.
