Homburger advises the Institute of International Finance on Project Agorá
Homburger served as Swiss counsel to the Institute of International Finance (IIF) in connection with Project Agorá.
Project Agorá is a public-private collaboration convened by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the Institute of International Finance (IIF), focused on tokenization and its potential to address inefficiencies in wholesale cross-border payments in a safe and secure manner through multi-currency settlement, by using tokenized central bank reserves and tokenized commercial bank deposits.
