Keynote: CBDCs and the Future of Money
Panel: Digital Currencies: What the Future Holds
10:15 – 11:15am SGT, 12 November

Global corporates move nearly $24 trillion across countries annually, equivalent to about 25% of global GDP. To do this, they have to rely on wholesale cross-border payment processes which remain sub-optimal from a cost, speed and transparency standpoint. Are CBDCs a solution to the $120 billion payment problem, and how can central banks and commercial banks partner to develop, operate, and govern a mCBDC network?
