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
