Nearly one-third of central banks hold a cold attitude towards the launch of CBDCs due to regulatory considerations

According to a report by Golden Finance, on February 11th, the think tank "Official Currency and Financial Institutions Forum" (OMFIF) and security technology company Giesecke+Devrient Currency Technology released a survey report on 34 central banks, which found that those central banks with plans to launch CBDCs are still pushing forward with their plans, while about 31% of central banks have already postponed the implementation of CBDCs. The report states that the main reasons for the delay include "concerns about regulatory and governance frameworks" and unforeseeable "economic challenges taking priority over CBDC work". The report added that the formulation of legislation also depends in part on political will, rather than the technical capabilities or policy decisions of central banks.
