According to a report by Jin Ten, Swiss National Bank Governor Schlegel said that he does not see the need to launch a retail central bank digital currency.
Mr. Waller, the Fed governor, said he still saw no need for a US digital currency and that it was too early to assess the impact of new technologies on frictions in the payment system, but that the private sector was well placed to explore these developments. The Fed's role, which includes supporting innovation while managing risks to financial stability, aims to promote the efficiency and security of payment systems that benefit households, businesses and the economy as a whole.
The Bank of Japan is understood to see little need for a rate hike next week.
