Latinska Amerika pospešuje razvoj CBDC: Peru se pridružuje tekmi

The South American country is working on a CBDC, and though it will not be a first, the country won’t be left behind, according to BCRP president

Peru je zdaj zadnja država, ki je razkrila, da želi uvesti digitalno valuto centralne banke (CBDC). Govor na a virtualni poslovni vrh v torek je predsednik Centralne rezervne banke Peruja (BCRP) Julio Velarde dejal, da banka dela na okviru za izvajanje CBDC. Razkril je tudi, da centralna banka dela na projektu z drugimi centralnimi bankami.

Uradnik banke je vztrajal, da njegova država ne bo zaostala pri morebitnem razvoju CBDC, in dejal, da je Peru usklajen z drugimi državami podobne velikosti. Dodal je, da Peru spremlja Brazilijo, Mehiko in številne druge evropske države, ki si podobno prizadevajo za uvedbo suverene digitalne valute.

“We are not going to be the first because we do not have the resources to be the first or to face the risks. But we do not want to be left behind […] we don’t want to fall behind. At least we are at the same level or perhaps even further ahead than similarly sized peers, although behind Mexico and Brazil.” pojasnil je.

The South American nation is currently in a bad situation facing inflation in goods and services while also experiencing instability in the country’s financial system. The government is reviewing economic models that could help mitigate the crisis. Velarde held that the BCRP was seeking to make changes to the current payment model in the country, though he didn’t disclose any further details.

»Mislim, da bo plačilni sistem, ki ga bomo imeli čez osem let v svetu, povsem drugačen od sedanjega. Tudi finančni sistem bo verjetno precej drugačen,« je dejal Valverde.

Peru’s stand on digital assets has been murky to say the least as both the government and other bodies have issued warnings to citizens over the risk associated with the use of crypto. The financial institutions have also hinted at upcoming strict regulations. However, no policies have been proposed or official decision taken effect to this day.

Velarde je s svoje strani jasno povedal, da si bo perujska banka apex prizadevala za inovacije okoli kripto "nekakšen peskovnik in pustite jim, da napredujejo," dodal, da "kasneje bo prišla konkretnejša uredba."

Medtem ko druge države napredujejo pri razvoju digitalne valute, ZDA še vedno zaostajajo po mnenju nekdanjega predsednika Komisije za trgovanje s terminskimi pogodbami na blago (CFTC) Tima Massada. Massad upadla to stanje, ko je v sredo govoril o vlogi digitalnih sredstev v vladi pred skupnim odborom. Nekdanji predsednik CFTC je dejal, da ZDA ne napredujejo dovolj hitro pri izboljševanju svojih plačilnih sistemov in da se mora to spremeniti, da se zagotovi večja finančna vključenost.
