Peru’s Central Reserve Bank partnered with Viettel Peru on July 17 to launch a pilot for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
According to a recent <a href="https://www.bcrp.gob.pe/docs/Transparencia/Notas-Informativas/2024/nota-informativa-2024-07-17.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announcement</a> by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP), Viettel Peru S.A.C. will be the first participant in this year-long pilot, integrating digital currency into the financial system and modernizing the country’s financial infrastructure.

The pilot will involve collaboration with various stakeholders to ensure the system design and functionality align with the BCRP’s requirements. This approach is intended to enhance user adoption and address potential barriers to entry.
“Following a selection process conducted under Circular No. 0011-2024-BCRP, the management of the BCRP issued Resolution No. 0009-2024-BCRP, which establishes that the Participant of the First Digital Money Pilot is the company Viettel Perú S.A.C.,” the file read.

In March 2023, the Central Reserve Bank <a href="https://www.bcrp.gob.pe/docs/Sistema-Pagos/cbdc/cbdc-presentation.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">published </a>a report exploring the adoption of a <a href="https://bitcoinworld.co.in/kazakhstan-uses-its-cbdc-to-pay-for-china-rail-line/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CBDC</a>. The report highlighted that currency is a digital liability of a central bank that the public uses as money.
“A CBDC can be complementary to the set of existing payment instruments, including banknotes and coins issued by the BCRP,” stated the report.
Peru faces major challenges transitioning from a cash-based economy to a digital one, including low financial inclusion and high payment service costs.
The report emphasized that addressing challenges is crucial for achieving policy milestones, such as increasing the use of digital payments among the unbanked population and building greater trust in payment systems.
The BCRP is considering three options to address these challenges: maintaining the status quo, improving access and interoperability of existing payment systems, and introducing a CBDC.
“Option 1 is not viable, while Options 2 and 3 form complementary policy strategies,” the report concluded.
The report highlighted that introducing a digital currency is anticipated to enhance Peru’s payment landscape with features like instantaneous and final payments, universal accessibility, and multiple use cases.
