The advisory group will bring together experts from a range of disciplines to work on the digital pound. The group will include academics from a range of disciplines including monetary policy, finance, competition economics, industrial organisation, behavioural science, law, innovation theory, marketing, and business.
This group aims to encourage academic research and debate that is relevant to input and promote interdisciplinary discussions on a range of topics related to retail CBDC, and of relevance to our work during the design phase. We believe this is crucial to the progress of this phase of work.
The AAG will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange and research collaboration. As a multidisciplinary group, it will provide a wide-ranging and nuanced view on the key questions on CBDCs.
The AAG will encourage diverse ideas, open debate and perspectives that challenge prevailing wisdom in relation to the digital pound.
