TOKYO, March 28 (Reuters) – Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda on Tuesday called for the need to have central bank digital currencies (CBDC) coexist with various other forms of money to offer the public a safe digital payment system.
“Ensuring the coexistence of CBDC with various other forms of money … is something that we need to and will in fact achieve in the future,” Kuroda said in a speech delivered to a seminar on financial technology.
