April 28 (SeeNews) - North Macedonia's central bank is exploring the option to introduce a digital version of the country's official currency, the Macedonian denar, central bank governor Anita Angelovska Bezhoska said.
"If the analyses show that it is necessary to introduce a digital denar, I hope we will already be talking about the digital denar as an official means of payment in the country at some of the next celebrations of the day of monetary independence," Angelovska Bezhoska said in a transcript of her speech at a ceremony for the country's monetary independence on Wednesday.
The Macedonian denar is the country's official currency since 1993.
The European Central Bank (ECB) is currently working on plans to introduce a digital euro.
