I got interested in CBDC a year ago and since then have been reading up.
Over last month or so there's been a flurry of these articles in Economist, Bloomberg. Economist's current weekly edition's[1] focus is CBDC. I get a feeling that through these media outlets policy makers are sensitizing people to an impending launch sometime around 2024.
China was going full steam ahead with different phases of public trials since at least as early as March 2020. China has announced they plan to public launch it next year's winter Olympics. It was largely ignored by the western media. I guess now that they see Chinese launch as being a success the West will want get on the bandwagon.
