However, he added that the central bank is still years away from introducing the digital rand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment, cross-border remittances out of South Africa cost 13% of the transaction amount. According to a World Bank <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/remittanceprices.worldbank.org\/sites\/default\/files\/rpw_main_report_and_annex_q421.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this price is more than double the average cost of sending money out of the Group of 20 (G20) top global economies. Meanwhile, the cost of sending money into South Africa is 6.2%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This news comes on the heels of South Africa conducting small-scale experiments with a wholesale central bank-issued digital currency (CBDC) in 2021. SARB also teamed up with the central banks of Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia to run a cross-border pilot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the digital rand's development can go any further, regulators must test it on a larger scale and create a legal framework for its use. Naidoo added that SARB is still learning and experimenting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While South Africa is taking its time with creating a digital rand, it is expediting crypto regulation. According to Naidoo, crypto regulation is on the way and might arrive within the next nine to 15 months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explaining the rush to regulate the nascent asset class, Naidoo said,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If crypto assets were to become a very ubiquitous currency, you could undermine the authority of the central bank.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b>Different countries take different approaches to CBDC development<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This news comes as multiple countries across the globe continue exploring the option of launching a CBDC.

However, the central bank is yet to decide whether it will pursue the issuance of a CBDC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike Israel, who seems hesitant about a digital shekel, China has been pushing full steam ahead with its CBDC plans.
