The CBDC initiative, called Project Garuda, will start with the launch of a wholesale digital rupiah for “use cases of issuance, redemption, and interbank fund transfer” followed by “monetary operations and financial market development.” The project’s white paper stated the third phase will deal with end-to-end transactions between wholesale and retail digital rupiah users.
