Roundtable 4
Invite-Only
Over 80% of countries today are exploring CBDCs, with multiple pilots and experiments helping to drive conviction. But how do we ensure that the tokenised money landscape champions the core tenets of innovation, stability and financial inclusion?
In this roundtable, participants are invited to discuss how interoperability between CBDCs across jurisdictions will influence their evolution. The discussion at Elevandi Insights will build upon conclusions drawn at the Point Zero Forum, delving into the evolution of different forms of digital money, with a particular focus on different approaches to tokenising reserves.
Additionally, the session will explore how CBDCs and tokenised money interact, and how this interaction influences their respective roles. Participants will also explore how the public and private sectors can jointly encourage innovation while managing risks.
Roundtable 4
Invite-Only
Tokenisation of financial and real economy assets is estimated to accelerate the pace of digitalisation and impact the broader economy beyond financial services. Despite good progress in asset tokenisation experimentations and pilots, the lack of FMI compliant digital infrastructure which financial institutions can use to execute digital asset transactions prevents financial institutions’ ability to deploy digital assets at scale.
This roundtable discusses the importance for multilateral platforms to be powered by open and interoperable networks amongst global banks and regulators. Moderated by Tommaso Mancini-Griffoli, Division Chief in the Monetary and Capital Markets Department at the International Monetary Fund and Alan Lim, Head of the FinTech Infrastructure Office at the MAS.
