With:

| Natsuki Tsuda (Ministry of Finance, Japan)

| Tayo Tunyathon Koonprasert (International Monetary Fund)

In this session, FNA sits down with Natsuki Tsuda and Tunyathon Koonprasert to dissect the friction points of retail CBDC adoption. Drawing from their recent contributions to the IMF’s CBDC Virtual Handbook, our guests explore how strategic policy, intermediary engagement, and the newly introduced REDI Framework can overcome hurdles like public trust and competition with existing payment methods.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Regulatory Balance: Crafting frameworks that shield users without stifling fintech innovation.

  • The IMF Blueprint: Analyzing the global strategic implications of the CBDC Virtual Handbook.

  • Cross-Border Dynamics: Navigating the unique opportunities and systemic challenges of international CBDC transfers.

  • Collaborative Success: Why public-private partnerships are the "secret sauce" for scalable implementation.
