Noting that “The MoU also provides for technical collaboration and knowledge sharing on matters related to fintech and financial products and services,” the RBI concluded: This bilateral engagement of testing cross-border use case of CBDCs is expected to reduce costs, increase efficiency of cross border transactions and further the economic ties between India and UAE.
