A central bank discussion paper found that the majority of Canadians have little trouble accessing financial services, which gives them little reason to use a CBDC. The typical Canadian has little reason to adopt a central bank-issued digital currency, which could cause problems for its broad acceptanc, according to a new paper from the Bank of Canada. In the staff discussion paper released on Aug. 10, the central bank looked at a hypothetical scenario where cash was virtually eliminated in order to see what role a potential CBDC could play in helping the underbanked.
