Central Bank Payments News (CBPN) - a Currency Research (CR) initiative - is a monthly e-publication dedicated to informing the worldwide central bank payments & market infrastructure community of the most relevant and timely payments issues impacting the central bank today.
With a unique and in-depth payments focus tailored to a central bank perspective, CBPN is an independent and comprehensive source of intelligence that delivers reliable and unbiased news to the global central bank payments community.
Our readers include leaders and experts in the central bank payments & market infrastructure, as well as relevant operators and participants under the oversight of the central bank.
CBPN is a natural extension of CR’s premier payments events – the Central Bank Payments Conference (CBPC), the Digital Currency Conference (DCC), and the Global Payment Summits (GPS) series.
These events draw senior-level central bankers, regulators, and industry stakeholders from across the globe, who comprise the core readership of CBPN. The 2022 CBPC event in Athens, Greece attracted senior payments executives from across 40 countries, including more than 80 unique organisations and representatives from over 40 central banks.
