The fund expects that within the next three years, two Arab banks will be able to issue their own digital currencies. The International Monetary Fund, in a report last October, touched on encouraging central banks to launch their own digital currencies, in parallel with developing and improving payment technologies and facilitating cross-border payments and transfers, to be cheaper, faster, more comprehensive and transparent.

He explains, in exclusive statements to "Sky News Arabia", that a group of countries within one regional scope can also issue one digital currency among themselves, subject to the supervision of central banks; In order to facilitate trade exchange between those countries. Badra describes the current digital currencies as “a problem for the global economy,” citing the losses that investors suffered earlier after the founder of a currency company fled with two billion dollars. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
