Today, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) made an exciting announcement, marking the beginning of the e-HKD Pilot Programme. In this groundbreaking initiative, 16 prominent firms from the financial, payment, and technology sectors have been chosen to participate in the inaugural round of pilots for the year 2023.

These pilots will delve into various potential use cases across six categories: full-fledged payments, programmable payments, offline payments, tokenized deposits, settlement of Web3 transactions, and settlement of tokenized assets. With this significant step, Hong Kong embraces digital innovation in its financial landscape.

Paving the Way for Future Implementation of Retail CBDC

The e-HKD Pilot Programme plays a pivotal role as Rail 2 in the HKMA’s comprehensive three-rail strategy, aimed at exploring the potential adoption of a retail central bank digital currency (CBDC), specifically e-HKD. This program facilitates a collaborative effort between the HKMA and various stakeholders to conduct a series of pilots. The primary objective is to thoroughly examine use cases and address implementation and design challenges associated with e-HKD.

Adopting an iterative approach, each pilot within the program contributes valuable outcomes and insights. These findings are vital in shaping the HKMA’s perspective and refining its strategy toward the potential introduction of e-HKD. However, it’s important to note that the HKMA has not yet reached a definitive decision regarding the official introduction of e-HKD.

Exploring Innovative Use Cases for e-HKD

The commencement of the e-HKD Pilot Programme witnessed the presence of esteemed senior executives from the 16 chosen firms. This auspicious event provided an excellent platform for the firms to showcase the significant highlights of their proposed use cases. Over the coming months, the HKMA will maintain close collaboration with the selected firms, actively overseeing the pilot projects and monitoring their progress.

While these pilots’ exact outcomes and results may evolve with time, the HKMA is dedicated to sharing key insights and learnings with the public during Hong Kong FinTech Week 2023. The HKMA plans to conduct subsequent rounds of pilot partnerships with the industry, anticipating future collaborations and fostering ongoing innovation and development in the digital currency landscape.

In an effort to foster collaboration among the government, industry, and academia in CBDC research, the HKMA has also unveiled plans to establish a dedicated CBDC Expert Group. This group will consist of academics from local universities, who will provide valuable insights to bolster Hong Kong’s future endeavors in exploring crucial policy and technical aspects related to CBDC.
