BIS CPMI Highlights Central Banks’ Role in Safeguarding an Evolving Payments Ecosystem
Current overview (not historical)
The BIS Committee on Payment and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) released a report titled "Central Banks and the Evolving Payments System," underscoring the central bank’s role as the trust foundation in the payments landscape. It confirms that central bank money remains the key systemic settlement asset and that central banks facilitate settlement interoperability across diverse payment methods. The analysis examines how technological innovation, shifting user demands, and the emergence of new payment service providers are reshaping payment systems. However, it stops short of evaluating the specific effectiveness of individual measures or detailing any cost‑free policies, leaving the practical impact of these reforms open to further scrutiny.

Report first recorded Oct 29, 18:25
The BIS Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) released a new report, "The roles of central banks and central bank money in the evolving payment system," examining how technological advances, shifting user demands, and the rise of new payment service providers reshape payment ecosystems. The analysis confirms that central bank money remains the trust anchor, offering the safest, most liquid settlement asset for systemically important systems and enabling par‑convertibility across payment methods. It also notes that private sector innovations—such as fast payment systems, non‑bank providers, tokenised deposits, stablecoins, and programmable platforms—can boost efficiency and competition but introduce new interdependencies and risks. Central banks must therefore use a range of policy tools, stay adaptable, and collaborate internationally to manage these changes. The report builds on the CPMI’s analytical framework and underscores the complementary relationship between central bank money and private payment solutions, stressing that central banks cannot remain passive observers but must actively shape the evolving payments frontier.
