Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), FinTech and Digital Finance, 20 November, 2026.

A central bank digital currency (CBDC) is the digital form of a country's fiat currency, issued and backed by the central bank. Unlike cryptocurrencies, CBDCs are centralised, stable, and government-controlled, with a value pegged one-to-one with the nation's official currency. They offer a digital equivalent to physical cash and could be used for a range of transactions, including both retail and wholesale payments.

 

Day and Time:  20 November, 10 am to 4 pm.

Venue: Michael Crouch Innovation Centre, UNSW
