Peter Bruce-Clark, Partner at Social Impact Capital talks with host Vince Molinari about investing in companies that are making a difference.

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented public concerns about viral transmission via cash. Central banks report a large increase in queries from the media on the safety of using cash. The number of internet searches pertaining to both “cash” and “virus” is at record highs. This seems likely to accelerate central bank adoption of digital currencies. What is a digital currency? What are the implications for the financial system? Who is working on it? What will be the governance implications? How can governments and others create incentives for people to develop new paradigms, or even just better ways to do things, and avoid stamping out good ideas? The panel covered: 1. What was the original impetus to create CBDC? 2. Difference between Retail, Commercial CBDC, implications for banking system and monetary policy? 3. Latest developments in Central Bank Digital Currency Activity? 4. Why are we talking about this in the midst of COVID-19?
