We are delighted to conduct the third Knowledge Exchange Program (KX-3) on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), co-hosted with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).

The program is a follow-on to the first Knowledge Exchange Program on Digital Financial Services organized in November 2019 in Malaysia and the second Knowledge Exchange Program on Harnessing the potential of FinTech in deepening Financial Inclusion: Practical Regulatory Expositions organized virtually in December 2020.

KX-3 is primarily expected to investigate and facilitate cross-learning among the participating member institutions on the implications of CBDC, including practical policy analysis, design choices, technology, and technical experimentations. The program will also facilitate sharing of learning experiences between developing and developed countries’ financial regulatory institutions.

The KX-3 will be aligned with the Sochi Accord on FinTech for Financial Inclusion, which was adopted by the AFI Membership in September 2018. The accord calls for systematic dialogue among peers in developing and emerging countries as well as developed economies, showcasing policy learnings on issues of high shared priority across financial inclusion convergence topics such as Digital Financial Services.
