Speech by Mr Agustín Carstens, General Manager of the BIS
Snippet from his speech
“Cash use is declining.1 Users are increasingly demanding new forms of money. Advances in digital services are highlighting shortcomings in existing systems, while raising expectations about what money should do. People want their money to be digital and programmable. They want to be able to transfer it across borders quickly, cheaply and safely.”
