Japan's Ministry of Finance held the first meeting of an expert meeting on the feasibility of issuing the legal tender "digital yen" in the form of electronic data on the 21st, which initiated discussions on topics such as summarizing during the year. In April, the Bank of Japan also began to prepare for an empirical experiment involving private financial institutions. The meeting is "CBDC (Central Bank of digital currency) related expert meeting". The government has not yet decided whether to introduce digital yen, and will use the report of the meeting as a judgment material in the future.
