01 / Flagship index

Readiness is a system, not a single statistic.

The index measures enabling capacity—not whether a country should, or will, launch a CBDC. The full console exposes ranks, country profiles, partial data, weights, correlations and methodological choices.

Live public release

CBDC Readiness Index

Scores are recalculated from the published panel using CRITIC information weights and weighted geometric aggregation. The weakest pillar is visible as the binding constraint.

05 / Methodology

Transparent by construction.

A higher readiness score indicates stronger enabling foundations within the observed data. It is neither a recommendation to launch nor evidence that one design will suit every jurisdiction.

Pillar 01Digital & Technology

Connectivity, access and enabling infrastructure.

Pillar 02Economic & Household

Capacity to participate in a digital monetary system.

Pillar 03Financial Depth

Inclusion, accounts, institutions and payment use.

Pillar 04Institutions & Regulation

Governance quality and enabling frameworks.

Pillar 05Macro Resilience

Stability, policy space and external balance.

01

Prepare

Transform cost indicators and apply documented robust normalisation.

02

Weight

Estimate CRITIC information weights within each pillar.

03

Aggregate

Use weighted geometric means to limit full compensation.

04

Interrogate

Review coverage, partial data and alternative weighting choices.
