Please join us in person at the World Bank for the launch of the Future Finance Forum, a new global collaboration to put low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) at the center of CBDC and DPI research.

The Future Finance Forum aims to build a new model for how academia, government, civil society, and the private sector can collaborate with LMICs to advance responsible CBDC and DPI exploration. The event will include a wide-ranging discussion with our esteemed guests from Germany, Brazil, and MIT followed by a reception.
