Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das highlighted the need for bringing in solutions to tackle the key challenges to existing cross border payments including high cost, low speed, limited access and insufficient transparency.
To this, the governor of India's central bank suggested that Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) can play an important role in making cross-border payments cheaper, faster and more secure.
«Faster, cheaper, more transparent, and more inclusive cross-border payment services would deliver widespread benefits to people and economies worldwide.
It would also support economic growth, international trade and financial inclusion,» Das said at TechSprint Finale in Mumbai.
