Digital Currency Governance Consortium
Phase I (complete)
Over the course of 2020 and 2021, the Forum convened the Digital Currency Governance Consortium (DCGC) around a series of virtual workshops and roundtables to address key questions and governance gaps in digital currency.
The first phase of Digital Currency Governance Consortium centred on the discussion and development of relevant and timely global frameworks for digital currency governance that benefit from multi-sector input and co-design.
In November, 2021, the Digital Currency Governance Consortium published the White Paper Series Compendium report.
Phase II (ongoing)
The Digital Currency Governance Consortium (DCGC) aims to inform a responsible entry of digital currencies into the global monetary system, as central banks continue to experiment with these instruments and adoption of cryptocurrencies and privately issued stablecoins increases.
Through rigorous research, global multisector dialogues and analyses of local models, Phase II of DCGC will examine the macroeconomic impacts of digital currencies and inform approaches for digital currency regulation.
Its work will centre on the following content:
- Macroeconomic Impact: In an effort to integrate digital currencies into the current financial landscape, questions of the macroeconomic impact remain. The purpose of this workstream is to provide an evaluation of potential impacts and interactions between cryptocurrency or stablecoins and monetary policy and macroeconomics.
- Regulatory Best Practices: The imminent changes in the regulatory environment that occur in reaction to innovation and changes in the regulatory needs are one of the areas in this space that require continual assessment. Thus, a continuation of the regulatory workstream will address regulatory learnings and best practices from around the world with respect to stablecoins or cryptocurrency.
- Central Bank Digital Currency Dialogues: CBDC continues to draw the attention of various jurisdictions that are looking to implement these in their regions. In order to maintain a pulse on these developments, roundtables for public and private sector participants will track these conversations.
