What’s new? Hiromi Yamaoka, who previously headed the Bank of Japan’s digital yen research, now opposes CBDC. He is concerned about the negative interest rates of the currency, which will appear in 2026. Yamaoka warned that the digital yen may pose a risk to the financial stability and have disastrous consequences for the economy, the Japan Times reports.
