10th July “Is a central bank digital currency a good idea for business?”

Given the growing activity from central banks about their issuing their own digital currencies, our NED SIG will attempt to answer the question “Is a central bank digital currency a good idea for business?”.

We will cover:
– What is a central bank digital currency?
– What are the potential benefits and impacts on businesses?
– What do we need to know about the underlying technology?

Sue Milton will share some introductory thoughts on these questions followed by discussion to identify what more we need to know and some next steps NEDs need to carry out.
