Mexico's central bank digital currency (CBDC) will probably not be ready by 2024 as previously projected, according to local media on Jan. 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

News company El Sol de Mexico contacted the Bank of Mexico with a transparency request on the status of the CBDC. The central bank responded:<\/p>\n

The result of this initial phase entails the preparation of a budget that is currently being determined, and will, in turn, allow establishing of a probable date on which said CBDC will be available.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In late 2021<\/a>, the Bank of Mexico and its deputy governor Jonathan Heath suggested that the country's digital peso would go live by 2024.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Bank of Mexico governor Victoria Rodr\u00edguez Ceja suggested in April 2022 that the CBDC be in circulation by 2025.<\/p>\n

Last week's statement suggests otherwise. Though it is possible that the Bank of Mexico meant that it is establishing a specific launch date within the 2024-2025 deadline, the context strongly suggests that the CBDC's entire timeline is uncertain.<\/p>\n

The Bank of Mexico's CBDC is being developed in three stages. The first stage will involve the creation of a platform called PagoCel, which will eventually be used for mobile and PIN-based transfers. The second stage will see financial institutions adopt the CBDC. In the third and final stage, individuals will be able to use the asset.<\/p>\n

Last week's statement from the Bank of Mexico suggests that the project has not moved past the initial budgeting stage. The bank also stated that 10.22 million pesos ($532,000) were allocated to the CBDC's creation during the 2022 fiscal year.<\/p>\n

Like all other central bank digital currencies, Mexico's CBDC will be a digital asset that matches the value of the local fiat currency \u2014 in this case, the Mexican peso.<\/p>\n

Mexico's CBDC will reportedly not be built on blockchain technology. It will, however, be aimed at “unbanked” individuals without regular access to a bank account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
