Description: The potential of a digital dollar has generated key questions on the design and implementation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). This is especially relevant for the United States because of potential security risks and challenges in an international context. Please join the CSIS Economics Program on May 12th at 9 a.m. EST, for the first of three upcoming public events on major issues for a potential digital dollar. Gerard DiPippo, senior fellow for CSIS Economics Program, will moderate a discussion between Stephanie Segal, non-resident senior associate for CSIS Economics Program, and Fariborz Ghadar, senior advisor for CSIS and Pennsylvania State University Smeal College of Business William A. Schreyer Chair in Global Management. Gerard DiPippo published a recent piece on options for a U.S. CBDC and Stephanie Segal published a report in 2020 on CBDC. This event is made possible through the generous support of the Ghadar Family Foundation. --------------------------------------------- A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.
