Abstract:Australia’s central bank on Tuesday said it was launching a one-year research programme into the case for a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in Australia, focusing on what potential economic benefits it might bring.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is partnering with the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre (DFCRC), a government-backed industry group, in the program.
The project will seek to identify innovative use cases and business models that could be supported by the issuance of a CBDC, and better understand of some of its technological, legal and regulatory considerations.
It will involve the development of a limited-scale CBDC pilot that will operate in a ring-fenced environment and involve a pilot CBDC that is a real claim on the RBA.
Interested industry participants will be invited to develop specific use cases that demonstrate how a CBDC could be used to provide innovative and value-added payment and settlement services to households and businesses.

Australia's trade surplus has surged to an 11-month high, reaching $5.62 billion in January 2025. The unexpected boost in trade surplus was primarily driven by a 1.3% month-over-month increase in exports, with non-monetary gold playing a starring role.

The foreign exchange market is inherently volatile, with its sharp fluctuations driven not only by changes in the global economic landscape but also by large-scale speculative capital and the influence of major market players, further intensifying its instability.
Central banks have purchased over 1,000 tons of gold annually for three consecutive years, and 2024 is no exception. However, the key question remains: as demand for gold continues to rise, will its price keep increasing?
