India could begin trials for a digital rupee by December - central bank governor
CNBC reports that RBI central bank governor Shaktikanta Das said that the Reserve Bank of India may launch its first digital currency trial programs by December.
Central banks including those in China, Europe and the U.K. are exploring digital currencies that would be issued by them, either to commercial lenders or to the public directly.
“We are being extremely careful about it because it’s completely a new product, not just for RBI, but globally,” Das said.
The RBI is studying various aspects of a digital currency including its security, impact on India’s financial sector as well as how it would affect monetary policy and currency in circulation, according to the governor.
Das added that the central bank is also exploring the choice between having a centralized ledger for the digital currency or the so-called distributed ledger technology (DLT).
“I think by the end of the year, we should be able to — we would be in a position, perhaps — to start our first trials,” Das told CNBC.
His deputy, T Rabi Shankar, last month said the central bank was working toward a “phased implemental strategy” for a digital currency.
