Abstract

This chapter delves into the world of cross-border Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), highlighting key initiatives such as mBridge and Agora. It explores how these projects aim to revolutionize global payment systems by enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving financial inclusion. The text also examines the geopolitical implications of CBDCs, including their potential to reshape the global economic world order and navigate volatile geopolitical landscapes. Additionally, it discusses the impact of CBDCs on financial stability and currency valuation, providing case studies of countries like Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and India. The chapter also covers other notable projects like Project Jura, Mariana, and Tourbillon, each addressing specific aspects of cross-border CBDCs. The conclusion underscores the transformative potential of CBDCs in the global financial system, despite the challenges and uncertainties that lie ahead.
The contributions of Abhi Das and Suudarshan Vaidhya to this chapter is gratefully acknowledged.
