Vodja BIS poziva države, naj posodobijo pravne okvire za podporo CBDC

Glede na dokument IMF, objavljen leta 2021, skoraj 80 % centralnih bank ne sme izdati digitalne valute v skladu z obstoječimi zakoni ali pa je pravni okvir nejasen.

“This needs to be rectified,” says Carstens. “The public rightly demands forms of money that meet their needs and expectations. Central banks have a mandate to meet those demands and have made significant investments to address the technical and operational requirements for CBDCs. It is simply unacceptable that unclear or outdated legal frameworks could hinder their deployment. The work to address these issues needs to begin in earnest. And it needs to proceed at pace.”

Carstens priznava, da imajo različne države različne pravne okvire, kulturo in tradicije ter se bodo problema verjetno lotile na različne načine.

Nonetheless, international coordination and cooperation is critical, he says: “It would be unfortunate if we ended up with a fragmented system and legal framework in which different digital currencies don’t interoperate.”
