Digital Shekel (CBDC)

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a digital means of payment that, like cash, constitutes a central bank liability toward the holder of the currency. The Bank of Israel has not yet made a decision to issue digital currency. Similar to leading central banks, it has decided that at this stage, a plan of action will be prepared that can be put into action in the future if conditions warrant it. A future decision to issue a digital shekel will be based in part on an assessment that the benefit of issuing it exceeds the potential costs and risks involved in such an issuance.

ECB Prepping the Ground for Digital Euro Launch

Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, has announced the intent to launch a Digital Euro in October.

The European Central Bank (ECB) is laying the groundwork for the probable launch of its wholesale and retail central bank digital currency (CBDC), the Digital Euro. Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB, shared this update at their latest press conference. “President Lagarde stressed that the digital euro is ‘more relevant than ever,'” the ECB tweeted.

Lagarde emphasized that the Digital Euro, the EU’s CBDC solution, is set to launch in October 2025—provided it passes the legislative phase involving key stakeholders, including the European Commission, Parliament, and Council. Notably absent from this process is the European public, despite the significant impact this initiative will have on their daily lives….moar 2ndpicrel
