In a speech in Montreal, deputy governor Timothy Lane said there isn't a compelling case to issue a central bank-backed digital currency right now.
He added the bank could issue its own cryptocurrency if private digital currencies or those offered by other central banks become widely used in Canada and erode the Bank of Canada's ability to manage monetary policy. "This includes readying ourselves in case a decision is made some day to issue a Bank of Canada digital currency."
"It would become increasingly difficult to control the stability of the purchasing power of the Canadian dollar," Lane said in a question-and-answer session following the speech.
