IIMR Webinar April 17th, 2024. Gabriel Stein 'When £1 is not £1'

Gabriel Stein from Stein Brothers (UK) discusses situations where £1 of a CBDC might conceivably not be worth £1 cash in that same currency - and the problems that would arise from this anomaly. Part of the spring webinar series 2024.
Hosted by IIMR Director Damian Pudner in collaboration with the Vinson Centre for the Public Understanding of Economics and Entrepreneurship at the University of Buckingham.

Although I am retired and not from an economic background, I at least got the gist of the Mr Stein's discussion. Thank you it was illuminating.

CBDC's should be reserved for use as a "Wholesale CBDC" between banking institutions, government, etc. Logically this is the place it should be adopted. This will give governments tighter control over its banking and financial institutions, operations, management, and development. A CBDC forced on the general public is a useless nuisance for that public and will do more political & economic harm than good.
