  • In the intro, mention Nigeria joining the list of countries that introduced CBDC.
  • In the body mention the areas in which it can help especially in developing economies-  to make domestic payments systems and cross-border remittances cheaper, faster and more efficient, and deepen financial inclusion. In challenges mention matching domestic priorities and design features, challenges posed by interest-bearing CBDC such as maintaining larger balance sheets etc.
  • Conclude by mentioning the need to balance the benefits with the risks in the introduction of CBDCs.
