The company claims that its offering will also enable central banks to promote new innovations without compromising with oversight, which could lead to fast-tracking of new financial products’ time to market.

EMTECH in its press statement said that it has teamed up with the Central Bank of the Bahamas on the release of its Digital Sand Dollar currency.

In its press release, the company said central banks today hold $9 trillion in paper cash and digitising paper currency with CBDC can lead to boosting liquidity in the market.

EMTECH will offer the required infrastructure for digital cash, which will offer central banks a toolset for new and inclusive monetary policy.
