Goldilocks’ Comments and Global Economic News Monday Evening 11-6-23
Good evening
“The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has published detailed plans for its cross-border wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) project nearly one year after completing a pilot study.”
This project is expected to begin early 2024. Wholesale CBDCs will be utilized on Forex to exchange foreign currencies through digital smart contracts designed to ensure funds on both sides of a trade are executed safely.
The Bank for International Settlements is a foreign exchange company that is a bank for banks. It is owned by Central Banks and will ensure transactions will be made in our exchanges.

BIS Banking Announcement:
“The Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) is an international standard setter that promotes, monitors and makes recommendations.”
After careful study, the CPMI says that stablecoins would not have a positive impact on cross-border payments.
Even if stablecoins were properly designed and regulated, the BIS does not believe they are a proper use coin for cross-border payments.
This does not mean that in-country use is without merit. It just looks like the BIS is looking at other means for foreign currency trades.
