To reduce cross-border payment's pain, the Central Bank of United Arab Emirates (CBUAE) and People's Bank of China (PBoC) have joined multiple-CBDC's projects, announced Hong-Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and Bank of Thailand (BoT) on 23rd February.
The project, Central Bank of Digital Currency (CBDC), has pulled many central banks to blockchain across Asia, making regulation easier against regular currencies (fiats). Now, HKMA and BOT are on the road together with the People's Bank of China and Central Banks of UAE to explore Blockchain Ledger Technology's possible facilities.
In light of the announcement, the current phase of the exploration into Central Bank of Digital Currency, based on the ‘Inthanon-LionRock' research project, is going to create a PoC (proof of concept) to,
“Facilitate real-time cross-border foreign exchange payment-versus-payment transactions in a multi-jurisdictional context and on a 24/7 basis.”
The CBDC focuses explicitly on resolving the difficulties a user faces during cross-border payments. Complex regulations and cost inefficiencies are the primary barriers to transfer funds across countries. As Mathee Supapongse, BoT's deputy governor noted earlier,
“The model offers a cross-border corridor network where participants can transfer funds instantaneously on a peer-to-peer basis and in an atomic PvP manner. The design and key findings of the project have added new dimensions to central bank communities' studies on cross-border funds transfer area.”
The inclusion of Asia's significant countries' central banks in the CBDC project would lead other financial sectors to join the track. And if it comes true, the adoptions will create a transparent and inducive environment for CBDC to integrate finance beyond Asia, too.
The growing profile of blockchain has compelled the vast number of government authorities to have a digital alternative to decentralized coins like Bitcoin and its linked currencies.
Due to the highly technical nature of the digital market, government sectors would find it hard to track and control the flow of digital assets. And this will eventually make CBDC the commonplace to come in the future. China is second to none in creating CBDC's mechanism and trying hardware biometric ID wallets for its digital yuan.
