**The Project**
A wave of innovation in financial technology (FinTech) is transforming the landscape of currency, payments systems and financial intermediation. Canadians are changing how they use money and make payments. Considering these developments, the Bank of Canada has an ongoing project to develop the capability to issue a general purpose, cash-like central bank digital currency (CBDC) should the need arise. This is a program of major social significance and will require us to break new ground.
