[Bank of England Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden: No Need to Rush the Launch of CBDC] Bank of England Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden stated at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) annual meeting in Bangkok that, given the numerous innovative developments in the digital payments sector, the UK currently has no plans to urgently introduce a CBDC to the public. Whether to advance retail CBDC will depend on whether the same benefits of tokenization and financial innovation can be achieved through other means. (Source: Bloomberg)
