UAE has emerged as a buzzing hub for crypto and digital innovation. Recently the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (CBUAE) said it is working on new plans to introduce the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). On Feb 12, the CBUAE newly launched the Financial Infrastructure Transformation (FIT) program, which was created as a part of the nation’s “We the UAE 2031” vision and National Digital Economy Strategy.

As per the CBUAE announcement, the FIT program included new plans to introduce CBDC for domestic purposes and cross-border payments. The program aims to support the financial services sector, promote digital transactions and “enable UAE’s competitiveness to become the financial and digital payment hub.”

Meanwhile, along with CBDC, nine more initiatives have been added to this program. The first stage mainly focused on digital payment infrastructures and services like the issuance of domestic card schemes, instant payments platform and launch of CBDCA for international transactions and domestic uses.

ແລະຂັ້ນຕອນທີສອງຂອງໂຄງການ FIT ລາຍລະອຽດກ່ຽວກັບການສ້າງຕັ້ງ Financial Cloud, ສູນນະວັດຕະກໍາສໍາລັບຂະແຫນງການເງິນແລະ eKYC.

Earlier on Jan 20, Thani Al-Zeyoudi, UAE’s minister of state for foreign trade, highlighted that cryptocurrency would play a vital role in the country’s global trade. He said the UAE government is working on crypto regulations to transform the Arabic country into a digital hub with crypto-friendly policies.

“We started attracting some of the companies to the country with the aim that we will together build the right governance and legal system, which are needed,” Al-Zeyoudi stated.

Saudi Arabia’s national banking regulator Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), discussed new plans to introduce CBDC working towards the long-term goal of transitioning to a cashless nation. The central bank said it has to observe closely whether to introduce a CBDC.

ໃນປີ 2019, SAMA ໄດ້ຮ່ວມມືກັບທະນາຄານກາງຂອງ UAE ເພື່ອພັດທະນາໂຄງການ CBDC ທີ່ເອີ້ນວ່າ Project Aber. ໂຄງການສ່ວນໃຫຍ່ໄດ້ກວດເບິ່ງວ່າເທກໂນໂລຍີ blockchain ຈະຊ່ວຍໃນການຈ່າຍເງິນຂ້າມຊາຍແດນໄດ້ແນວໃດ. ມັນຍັງໄດ້ກວດກາຄວາມສໍາພັນລະຫວ່າງສະກຸນເງິນເຊັ່ນ Saudi Riyal ແລະ Emirati Dirham.
