  "the main reason for establishing a CBDC is demand from the public" - in which case all CBDC projects should stop immediately as there is no demand from the public. Most people have no idea what a CBDC is, or how it is different to cash or bank deposits, therefore to imply there is public demand is wishful thinking.    In fact, where the public is aware of CBDCs there is considerable demand to prevent the introduction of a CBDC - witness the 50,000 responses to the BoE consultation on a CBDC, the majority expressing deep concerns with the project.
