MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper examines the role of central bank digital currency (CBDC) in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs). It was argued that a central bank digital currency can unlock financing for each of the sustainable development goals, provide suitable access to capital and increase payment efficiency. CBDC can also increase the speed of transaction chains and provide greater capital efficiency for investment in sustainable development activities and projects.
