RIS Discussion on Future Digital Currencies and Crypto-Currencies at 2.30 pm (IST) on 7 May 2020

As you are aware, the global economic landscape is undergoing a silent transformation enabled by innovations in digital technologies. Financial technologies in particular have assumed tremendous attention in the recent years. Banking and finance fields are witnessing rapid strides in application of digital technologies in advanced economies as well as in emerging and developing economies. In this digital era, countries are exploring whether new forms of money like digital currencies and crypto-currencies would be the game changer. There are many apprehensions with respect to the regulatory and supervisory challenges associated with use of digital and crypto-currencies. Besides central banks of different countries, international forums like G20 are also discussing the opportunities and constraints associated with crypto currencies and the standards involved.

In order to understand the intricacies of digital currencies and crypto-currencies, RIS is organising a webinar on "Future Digital Currencies and Crypto-Currencies: Policy Choices and Way Forward" at 2.30 pm (IST) on May 7, 2020.
