development and regulation of digital financial markets. It will build the knowledge base of
parliamentarians on digital money and digital markets.Its purpose is to bring together experts in industry and academia with MPs and Peers in the
UK Parliament to lead and influence the development of digital money and markets both in
the UK and globally.It will focus on regulated currencies, including retail and wholesale Central Bank Digital
Currency (CBDC), tokenised deposits and stablecoins, as well as all aspects of current and
emerging forms of money and payment, from cash to crypto currencies.The landscape is shifting rapidly, and it is important the UK is not left behind. The work of
the APPG will ensure we have a good understanding and strong voices in both legislative
chambers putting the case for innovation, growth, and appropriate regulation.The APPG is Co-Chaired by ex-Bank of England regulator and Labour MP Lauren Edwards MP
and Conservative Peer Lord Ranger of Northwood.It is already backed by key sponsors, including De La Rue, with more to come on board soon
and its meetings attended by key industry bodies and trade associations.

nature of the subjects being covered – its meetings will have outcomes designed to
influence government policy and shape the growing international conversation about digital
money and markets.APPGs: Informal Cross-Party Groups, Not Official Parliamentary Bodies"
