As part of the proposals under the aegis of the G20, together with the Bank for International Settlements, we have also recently launched an international competition (TechSprint) to find the most promising projects for technology applied to sustainable finance. A roadmap has been prepared for the development of cross-border payments, with the aim of making them cheaper, faster, transparent and inclusive.
This envisages drawing up quantitative objectives at global level on how to extend the connections between local systems, on easing regulatory and operational frictions and on innovative technologies. The analysis of the regulatory and supervisory implications regarding global stablecoins and further research into the use of digital currencies and their possible issuance by central banks are part of this sphere.
