Stablecoins opportunities for digital financial inclusion
This session considered the potential of digital currencies (i.e. CBDCs and stablecoins) for bridging the financial inclusion gap.

Importance of offline payments for CBDCs and financial inclusion
One feature that is often required of a CBDC for financial inclusion is the ability to make payments offline. This ensures that payments can be made even if there is no connection to the Internet, e.g. in remote locations. The panel considered some potential solutions for offline transactions for CBDC and discuss considerations for technical standards that may be needed.
