In Mauritius, we are looking forward to the pilot run of our Central Bank Digital Currency – the Digital Rupee – that may transform our currency and payment ecosystem in the years to come.
I therefore here wish to make a plea to my fellow central bank Governors, both present physically with us today and those who have not been able to make it due to their prior engagements, for us to join hands together for the elaboration of a regional model using CBDC with a view of improving cross-border payments.
