Despite the intensifying risks, the focus remains on getting the hardest-hit segments of the economy through the COVID-19 crisis, Governor Tiff Macklem said.

UPDATE 2-Bank of Canada accelerates work on digital currency amid pandemic

(Adds Lane comments from Q&A) OTTAWA, Feb 10 (Reuters) - The COVID-19 pandemic has added urgency to the Bank of Canada’s development of a digital currency and a decision could come sooner than previously thought, a senior policymaker said on Wednesday, though he noted that a launch was not a “foregone conclusion.” Bank of Canada deputy governor Tim Lane, speaking to a digital intelligence audience, also noted that while the pandemic has boosted cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, recent prices spikes look like “speculative mania” and said the offerings are not plausible as the currency of the future. “For several years, the Bank of Canada has been analyzing which circumstances might lead Canada to decide to issue a digital currency. The pandemic may bring us to a decision point sooner than we had anticipated,” said Lane.
