Bank of Japan Governor Ueda spoke on Central Bank Digital Currency.

Bank of Japan Governor Ueda:

• Any decision by other countries on whether to issue CBDC could offer
  us input on pros and cons of issuing CBDC in Japan
• Overseas
  developments may affect Japan’s decision on whether to issue CBDC
• Cannot offer any
  specific timing now on whether Japan can reach decision on whether to
  issue CBDC or not

• Rather than trying to issue CBDC swiftly, I would prioritise issuing
  CBDC in an appropriate way that benefits the broader public
