Wide-spread use of Nigeria’s e-Naira could be problematic, according to the IMF

Kristalina Georgieva, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, has issued a warning regarding the unanticipated “consequences” that the retail Nigeria Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) may have.

In an interview given on May 1 at the Milken Institute’s 2023 Global Conference, Georgieva emphasized her worry regarding retail CBDCs. The head of the IMF claims that the IMF believes retail CBDCs have far more leeway for error than wholesale CBDCs.

“We think that wholesale CBDCs can be put in place with fairly little space for undesirable surprises, whereas retail CBDCs completely transform the financial system in a way that we don’t quite know what consequences it could bring,” she said.

Retail CBDCs are state-backed virtual currencies that central banks issue for usage by individuals and companies, according to a Cointelegraph report, while wholesale CBDCs are similarly issued by central banks but are made to enable financial institutions to carry reserve deposits with a central bank.

In order to guarantee that best practices are implemented, the IMF MD stated that the agency was working with roughly 50 nations. She predicted that this collaboration will have a significant impact on banks and economies in the future.

The decision to produce a CBDC manual to assist central banks with CBDC design and implementation was made earlier by the IMF in response to the extraordinary levels of interest from countries all over the world.

Nigeria became one of the first nations in the world to create a central bank digital currency that is accessible to the general public on October 25, 2021, with the launch of the eNaira.

The Bahamas and the Central Bank of the Eastern Caribbean were also included on the coveted list by the most populous country in Africa.

Nigeria’s Central Bank governor, Godwin Emefiele, said on Tuesday that as of March 31, 2023, there were around 1.4 million e-Naira transactions. The eNaira is a digital currency that is pegged to the naira and used as a store of value and a means of trade, according to the CBN.
