The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has unveiled a novel strategy aimed at enhancing the global uptake of central bank digital currencies (CBDC) through a four-phase framework designed to facilitate CBDC utilization.
The IMF has released a document detailing the approach that will encourage the adoption of CBDCs by both intermediaries and end-users.
In particular, IMF analysts propose a four-phase REDI framework that encompasses:

- Regulation (R). Creating a regulatory structure to support CBDC adoption. Essential components should include regulations for intermediaries, legal tender designation, fee management, and quality benchmarks.
- Education (E). Formulating communication strategies aimed at educating both users and intermediaries regarding the advantages of CBDCs. This element is vital for establishing trust, countering misinformation, and involving all stakeholders, irrespective of their financial knowledge or access to technology.
- Design and Deployment (D). An appealing and user-friendly design for digital currencies will promote broader acceptance. IMF analysts have also proposed various strategies to optimize deployment plans, ease the onboarding process, and increase acceptance points to hasten the proliferation of CBDCs.
- Incentives (I). Providing both financial and non-financial incentives to motivate users and intermediaries to engage actively in the digital currency ecosystem. IMF analysts caution that without such incentives, intermediaries may show insufficient interest in incorporating CBDCs into their offerings, hindering ecosystem expansion.
The document further underscores that effective CBDC implementation necessitates a cohesive approach that caters to the requirements of both users and intermediaries. It stresses the importance of international regulatory frameworks to bolster global financial stability. IMF analysts recommend that significant focus should be placed on stakeholder involvement throughout all phases of CBDC development and execution. The paper also discusses the sustainability of CBDC systems, ensuring their reliability and maintaining financial stability in light of the emergence of digital currencies.
The IMF is actively investigating various applications for CBDCs. In 2023, the IMF team devised a concept for a cross-border payment platform for CBDCs and tokenized assets.
