Caribbean Central Banks Ditch CBDCs for Fast Payment Systems

Central banks in the Caribbean are moving away from central bank digital currencies and instead investing in faster payment systems. The shift, reported by Global Finance Magazine, suggests the region's monetary authorities have concluded that real-time payment infrastructure delivers more practical benefits than issuing digital currencies. It adds to a growing debate over whether CBDCs are worth the cost and complexity.

Why now: Caribbean monetary authorities are reportedly abandoning CBDC projects in favour of fast payment systems, a notable reversal in digital currency policy.
