Malaysian Central Bank Exploring the Need for CBDC

In a recent development, Bank Negara Malaysia, the central bank of Malaysia stated that it “is actively assessing the value proposition of central bank digital currency (CBDC) to Malaysia.”

ធនាគារកណ្តាលបានបន្ថែមថា៖

"ខណៈពេលដែលការសម្រេចចិត្តមិនត្រូវបានធ្វើឡើងដើម្បីចេញ CBDC យើងបានផ្តោតលើការស្រាវជ្រាវរបស់យើងលើ CBDC តាមរយៈភស្តុតាងនៃគំនិត និងការពិសោធន៍ដើម្បីបង្កើនសមត្ថភាពបច្ចេកទេស និងគោលនយោបាយរបស់យើង ប្រសិនបើតម្រូវការក្នុងការចេញ CBDC កើតឡើងនាពេលអនាគត។" 

It will be recalled that last year in September Malaysia allied with the Bank for International Settlements, Australia, Singapore, and South Africa to gauge the utility of CBDCs for international settlements through a shared platform in a project called Project Dunbar.

At the time, BIS declared:

“These multi-CBDC platforms will allow financial institutions to transact directly with each other in the digital currencies issued by participating central banks, eliminating the need for intermediaries, while also cutting the time and cost of transactions.”

Shortly following the joint announcement by the aforementioned central banks, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand stated it is also considering entering the CBDC space and exploring how digital currencies would benefit the island nation’s economy.

CBDC Race Continues to Get Congested

The arrival of the coronavirus pandemic likely fast-forwarded the declining use of cash across the globe coupled with the growing popularity of digital payments. Accordingly, central banks around the world are burning the midnight oil to conduct thorough research into the viability and benefits of CBDCs over physical cash.

ដូចដែលបានរាយការណ៍ដោយ អ្នកគ្រប់គ្រង BTCManager in August 2021, the Reserve Bank of India is considering launching a digital Rupee even though the regulations for cryptocurrencies in the country are still ambiguous at best.

In the same vein, the Bank of Thailand also revealed its plans to develop and trial its retail CBDC in the second quarter of 2022.
