The APPG covers the regulation of digital financial markets, regulated currencies (retail/wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC), Tokenised Deposits and Stablecoin), and all aspects of current and emerging forms of money and payment from cash to CBDCs. It will look at the development of the future UK/global payments landscape.
Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
