According to Coindesk, Turkey is poised to launch a central bank digital currency (CBDC) next year. Turkey’s Presidential Annual Program for 2023, presented on Monday by the Presidential Strategy and Budget Directorate, contains the discussion of a central bank digital currency. The announcement came a year after Turkey's central bank announced in September 2021 that it was considering issuing a CBDC to complement its existing payments infrastructure, in a project entitled “Central Bank Digital Turkish Lira Research and Development.” The responsible institution is Turkey’s central bank, with the cooperation of the local Ministry of Finance and Scientific and Technological Research Institution. “The Digital Turkish Lira system will be integrated with digital identity and FAST,” the official report stated. FAST is a payment system operated by the Turkish central bank. The report also stated that the Turkish central bank will carry out the research and development efforts and testing of its CBDC in collaboration with other banks.
