In emerging markets, support averaged 61%, with support reaching 66% in India and 70% in China.

Forty-six percent of respondents overall thought a CBDC would have little or no impact on financial inclusion. However, the regional variation in responses was pronounced, as a clear majority in China and India thought a CBDC would improve inclusion, with U.S. respondents coming in lowest at 24%.Willingness to use a CBDC showed similar distributions.
