Global CBDC: IMF Working on Global CBDC Platform Concept

In a bid to foster efficient and fairer international transactions, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is actively developing a global platform for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), Reuters reported.

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva emphasized the need for interoperability between countries during a conference attended by African central banks in Rabat, Morocco, on Monday. Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies, CBDCs are digital currencies controlled by central banks. 

Georgieva stated that CBDCs should transcend national boundaries and not remain fragmented propositions within individual countries.

To achieve this, she said that the IMF has been working towards a common regulatory framework that will enable seamless global interoperability for CBDCs. Failure to establish such a platform could create a void that cryptocurrencies will likely fill, she added. 

Backing the 'official' digital currency

Georgieva highlighted that 114 central banks worldwide are already exploring CBDCs, with approximately 10 having made substantial progress in their implementation.

She also stressed that the potential of CBDCs would be underutilized if they were solely developed for domestic use. By connecting countries and facilitating cross-border transactions, CBDCs could enhance financial inclusion and reduce the costs of remittances. Currently, the average cost of money transfers amounts to 6.3 per cent, equivalent to $44 billion annually.

Georgieva further emphasized the importance of backing CBDCs with assets. While acknowledging the investment potential of cryptocurrencies backed by assets, she cautioned against speculative investments in cryptocurrencies lacking such support.

Tracking the global rise of CBDC 

The rise in CBDC exploration is evident as per US-based think tank Atlantic Council, with 114 countries—representing over 95 percent of global GDP—actively considering or advancing CBDC projects. In contrast, in May 2020, only 35 countries were contemplating CBDCs. Presently, 60 countries are in an advanced exploration phase, including development, pilot testing, or launch.

Eleven nations have already fully launched their CBDCs, with China's pilot project reaching approximately 260 million people and expanding across the country in 2023. The most recent addition to the list is Jamaica, which introduced its own CBDC called JAM-DEX.

The imposition of financial sanctions on Russia has spurred countries to seek alternative payment systems that circumvent the dominance of the U.S. dollar. As a result, there are currently nine cross-border wholesale CBDC tests and seven cross-border retail projects, almost double the number compared to the previous year.

Throughout 2023, more than 20 countries are expected to take significant steps towards piloting their CBDCs. Australia, Thailand, Brazil, India, South Korea, and Russia intend to commence or continue pilot testing next year. Additionally, the European Central Bank (ECB) is likely to initiate its CBDC pilot in the near future.

As of December 2022, all G7 economies have transitioned from research to the development stage of CBDCs. Notably, the New York Federal Reserve's wholesale CBDC experiment, Project Cedar, propelled the United States into the development phase.

Among the G20 countries, 18 have reached the advanced stage of CBDC development, with seven already in the pilot phase. Almost every G20 nation has made substantial progress and allocated significant resources to CBDC projects in the past six months.

The digital world is here.

Nations around the world are either planning or are already implementing their CBDC.

But the down side of this is that the government have easy control over your money.

So get ready to be controlled.
Don't forget about the coming of Christ, because this digital world will pave the world to the mark of the beast.
There are bracelets with microchip that can be used to make payments around the world, it's only a matter of time before these chips are introduced into different parts of the body, all in the name of digitalization.
Say no to this and you'll wish you said yes.

so be prepared for the coming of Christ.

Obi will be victorious again

Within few weeks, people are dying of hunger

Rural people especially farmers can not transport their farm produce to nearby town.

Electricity tariff has jumped to 40% high.

If Tinubu wants play the role of game changer, he should respect the request of NLC by increasing minimum wage to 200k and implement it within one month, introduce transport scheme in 36 states with subsidies.
But he won’t because he knows Obi is coming

Bible prophecies unfolding right before our eyes!

Revelation 13 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹⁵ And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
¹⁶ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
¹⁷ And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

They will be discussing something very important you will be typing thrash, did Christ use internet or car when he was alive, why are you using it now? If you can't appreciate the ingenious thinking of some individual to make the world a smarter place just keep mute rather than spamming on every news with your usual thrash.

This is another way to control the world's economy and monetory system. Every central bank should be independent. What if a country falls out with them, they would punish them by putting transactions or business on hold.
