“There are many risks associated with the international position on local CBDC ranging from the risk of digital dollarization, international spillovers, and the impact of the international role of currencies. If a CBDC is used outside of its jurisdiction successfully, this could lead to a local currency losing its function as a medium of exchange, unit account, storage of value, and eventually raises financial stability risk,” a report by AFM’s Arab Regional Fintech Working Group said.
