The Bank Of England Makes A Central Bank Digital Currency Statement

A late breaking news story from the UK, as the Bank of England progresses its investigations into CBDC.

https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/news/2021/april/bank-of-england-statement-on-central-bank-digital-currency

The Bank of England and HM Treasury have today announced the joint creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Taskforce to coordinate the exploration of a potential UK CBDC. A CBDC would be a new form of digital money issued by the Bank of England and for use by households and businesses. It would exist alongside cash and bank deposits, rather than replacing them.

The Energy Long Con

A salutary lesson for those renewing their electricity bills.

https://www.energymadeeasy.gov.au/

Energy Made Easy is a free, Australian Government service, operated by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) and not paid by any energy companies, so it’s accurate and independent.

Energy Made Easy is a free Australian Government energy price comparison service for households and small businesses in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory, that can be used to find and compare home and small business electricity and gas plans.

Only these states and territories are included as they have adopted the National Energy Customer Framework. Where they are yet to adopt this framework, state and territory governments remain responsible for regulating retail energy markets.

If you live or operate a business in:

Victoria – you can use Victorian Energy Compare

the Northern Territory – you can refer to the Power and Water website for retail electricity information

Western Australia – you can refer to the Economic Regulation Authority website for retail electricity and gas information.
