Central Bank Digital Currency and Digital Asset Readiness for Treasury

Central bank digital currencies, stablecoins and tokenised assets are moving from pilot to practice in several African markets, with real implications for how treasuries hold and move money. This course explains what these instruments are, how they differ from mobile money and crypto, and the risk, tax and control questions they raise. It gives treasury and finance leaders a grounded view rather than hype.
