Figure 2. Central bank digital currencies project status and central bank independence

(International Journal of Central Banking, 2023), available at https://www.bis.org/publ/work880.htm. Central banks’ independence, measured on the vertical axis ranges from 0 (the lowest level of independence) to 1 (the highest level of independence); data are the updated version of those in Romelli (2022, Economic Policy), available at https://dromelli.github.io/cbidata/index.html. The size of the bubbles represents the aggregate GDP of the countries in each category. The sample includes 124 countries.
