Kudos to G+D and the OMFIF for analyzing the progress of CBDCs and finding that most are making steady progress despite delays at some central banks.
The survey of 34 central banks found that 48% expect to launch a CBDC in the next 3-5 years. This means that by 2030, there should be around 15 active CBDCs.
As to delays, less than a third of the banks surveyed have delayed their issuance timeline. The primary causes of delay are regulatory issues and the exploration of solutions.
