Watch December’s policy updates where Riccardo Tordera, Head of Policy & Government Relations at The Payments Association talks with Brunello Rosa, CEO of Rosa & Roubini.
Brunello and Riccardo spoke back in June about the macroeconomic case for CBDCs, and this time they talk about private money, in particular stablecoins, as Riccardo seeks to get Brunello’s opinion of what stablecoins can do for the British economy.
Brunello begins by reiterating that most of the money in circulation is not public money, but is bank created, and shares his beliefs that this will also be the case when we move to digital currencies, stating that the commercial banks will be the ones distributing digital money to the general public rather than the central banks doing so.
Brunello then takes a look at the similarities between the success of e-money and what could come of stablecoins in the UK. Assuming commercial banks could distribute their own stablecoin, he imagines it will go in one of two directions. Either a “narrow banking” route where the stablecoins will be backed by short-term assets, or a route where banks will be able to introduce stablecoin lending on a much larger scale.
Watch the rest of the interview where they discuss the future of stablecoins in the UK.

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
