Abstract

The article determines factors affecting the demand for Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) introduction. The research paper identifies these key parameters to be similar to those contributing to cash demand. Moreover, a comparative analysis between Sweden and Switzerland is presented based on these factors to highlight differences in national economies, which play a significant role in the subsequent demand for CBDC. The timeframe of this analysis is mainly based on the period of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which brought with itself a global economic crisis. These difficult macroeconomic conditions emphasize the characteristics of national economies that may be evidence of the need of CBDC issuance.
