Japan is focusing on developing innovative payment systems as its economy moves towards being cashless.
Bank of Japan's Executive Director mentioned the need for convenient and efficient payment options with the increasing trend of digital payments.
Japan has not finalized its stance on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) but has conducted experiments with a Digital Yen.
Asian countries like India and South Korea are at the forefront of the CBDC trend, while Asia as a whole is rapidly transitioning into a cashless payment society.
