Ross Parsons Centre Law & Business seminar: Central Bank Digital Currencies as a potential response to the financial inclusion challenges of the Pacific

Despite years of effort, financial inclusion persists as a major challenge in the Pacific Island Countries (PICs), with many in the region still lacking access to financial services. This webinar considers what central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) offer as a solution to (i) the financial inclusion challenges of the PICs and (ii) the problem of high remittance costs that currently serve as a tax on the earnings of Pacific Islanders abroad.
