This summary highlights the findings of a survey conducted in 34 Asian economies regarding central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and crypto assets. The survey reveals that there is a wide range of development stages among countries, but the presence of private crypto assets has prompted the consideration of CBDCs. While many countries are currently involved in research and development, with some even conducting advanced testing and pilots, only a few are expected to issue CBDCs in the near-to-medium term due to existing uncertainties. Nonetheless, the experiences of countries that have made progress in this area offer valuable insights for others embarking on a similar journey.
