India is taking significant steps toward enhancing <a href="https://x.com/RBI/status/1827937605796929703" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cross-border payment</a> efficiency by proposing a plug-and-play system for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).&nbsp;
Shaktikanta Das, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor, emphasized the importance of interoperability in cross-border payments. Recently, Das highlighted that interoperability should be a key design element to maximize efficiency in cross-border transactions. The challenge is that different countries may design their payment systems according to their domestic needs.&nbsp;
To address this, Das suggested the creation of a <a href="https://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/BS_SpeechesView.aspx?Id=1456" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">plug-and-play system</a> that could be easily replicated across borders while still allowing countries to maintain their financial sovereignty.
India is already making progress, aiming to improve interoperability between traditional payment systems and CBDCs. This would mean that the payment systems of one country could connect seamlessly with another country’s <a href="https://www.imf.org/en/Topics/fintech/central-bank-digital-currency/virtual-handbook" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CBDC </a>system, reducing delays and costs.
The <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/cryptocurrencies-are-big-no-to-cbdc-says-rbi-governor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RBI Governor</a> acknowledged that technical barriers can be overcome by adopting common international standards. However, a robust governance structure will be necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of such a system.
Das pointed out that, wholesale markets have seen improvements in cross-border payments whereas, the retail sector still faces complexity. Addressing these issues has been a priority for <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/18-g20-nations-emerge-as-the-hubs-for-crypto-degens/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">G20 countries</a> and other international standard-setting bodies.

In addition to improving payment efficiency, the <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/reserve-bank-of-india-eyes-1-million-users-of-digital-rupee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RBI</a> is also focusing on the programmability of CBDCs. By programming CBDCs for specific uses, such as purchasing agricultural inputs, banks could gain greater confidence in lending.
Furthermore, with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in financial services, Das urged stakeholders to prioritize data privacy and the explainability of AI models.&nbsp;
While AI offers opportunities to streamline financial processes, institutions need to understand and be accountable for AI-driven decisions, especially in loan sanctioning.
India’s proactive approach to exploring<a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/philippines-unveils-wholesale-cbdc-plans-excludes-blockchain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> CBDC</a> interoperability and the integration of emerging technologies reflects its commitment to fostering a more efficient, inclusive, and secure global financial system.
