Which CBDC programmes are planned but not yet piloting?

medium confidenceAs of 2026-04-18

The current planned set is the EU Digital Euro and Macau e-MOP. Both have official roadmap-style preparation language, but neither is tracked as a live pilot in the registry snapshot.

  • Planned is distinct from research and pilot in the current status taxonomy.
  • The EU Digital Euro moved into planned because the ECB published a pilot roadmap.
  • Macau e-MOP is planned because the AMCM white paper supports roadmap-backed monitoring without a public pilot.

Open Questions

  • Macau e-MOP should be refreshed if AMCM publishes pilot timing or pilot completion details.

Caveats

  • Planned status does not imply that issuance is legally authorized or guaranteed.

What does planned mean on the registry?

medium confidenceAs of 2026-04-21

Planned means the registry has enough source-backed evidence to track a roadmap-backed programme separately from generic research, but not enough to call it an active pilot or live launch.

  • Planned is a real data state in the current product, not placeholder copy.
  • It sits between research and pilot in practical maturity, but it is not a live pilot label.
  • The status exists so the site can answer roadmap questions without collapsing everything into research.

Citations

Caveats

  • The label is a registry classification, not a legal term used uniformly by central banks.
