Is the Middle East region page mostly about wholesale and cross-border CBDC work?
medium confidenceAs of 2026-04-22Yes. The UAE and Saudi Arabia entries are best read as infrastructure and cross-border pilot coverage rather than broad consumer-scale retail launch pages, with mBridge and related settlement work shaping the region's profile.
- The UAE and Saudi programmes are still pilot-stage in the registry.
- mBridge and related settlement work are central to the region's public evidence base.
- The current evidence does not justify describing either programme as a mature live retail rollout.

Caveats
- Region-level summaries should not collapse wholesale pilots into implied retail launch claims.
