    Yes, several central banks have issued their own digital currencies. For example, the Central Bank of China has developed a digital currency called the Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP). It is currently being tested in various cities across China. Another example is the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), which has launched a digital currency called DCash. It is used in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union.

    Absolutely! Central banks around the world are exploring the idea of issuing their own digital currencies. For instance, the Central Bank of Sweden, known as Riksbank, is actively researching and piloting an e-krona. The goal is to provide a secure and efficient payment system for the Swedish population. Similarly, the Central Bank of Uruguay has developed a digital currency called e-Peso, aiming to promote financial inclusion and reduce the costs of cash transactions.

    Definitely! One notable example is the Central Bank of the Bahamas, which has introduced the Sand Dollar, a digital version of the Bahamian dollar. The Sand Dollar aims to improve financial access and reduce transaction costs in the country's remote islands. Additionally, the Central Bank of Tunisia has launched the e-Dinar, a digital currency that aims to enhance financial inclusion and reduce the informal economy. These are just a few examples of central banks embracing digital currencies.
