global policy
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) stated that it has no plans to issue a central bank digital currency. The bank stated in its 2020 annual report that existing monetary and financial policy tools are still effective in maintaining monetary and financial stability. Domestic payment systems, including real-time retail payment platforms (RPPs), will also continue to operate to support economic needs. Most current state of the art digital assets do not have the general characteristics of money, making them a poor store of value and tradeable. BNM will actively monitor key indicator trends and assess CBDC-related risks and policies. (Bernama)
