12:15 BST: Connecting digital islands: Joining up digital currencies and payment systems

The panel will explore what banks, central banks and payment networks need to do to ensure interoperability between the existing and the new. For instance, how will banks on different networks be able to identify themselves and ensure that transactions are securely signed? They will also discuss how fragmentation of the global financial system can be avoided in the context of such rapid innovation, and debate which CBDC model - interoperability, interlinking and single global platform - is most likely to win out in the future.
