Will CBDC replace cash in the UK?

If a CBDC were to be introduced in the UK, it would be denominated in pounds sterling so £10 of CBDC would be worth the same as a £10 banknote. CBDC would be a liability of the central bank. Any CBDC would be introduced alongside, rather than replacing, cash and commercial bank deposits.

Is the UK going to digital currency?


The next steps for a digital pound


We haven't made a decision on whether we will introduce a digital pound. The earliest we would issue a digital pound would be the second half of this decade. We are now in a design phase which will look at the technology and policy requirements for a digital pound.


Second half of this decade. That's NOW


The 2020s decade starts on January 1st, 2020, so the second half would begin on January 1st, 2025.
