新西兰储备银行已将其政府支持的数字货币计划搁置，此前曾计划在2030年前推出。该央行未给出重启该项目的新时间表。
New Zealand's Reserve Bank has put its plans for a government-backed digital currency on hold, after previously aiming to have one in place by 2030. The central bank gave no new timeline for reviving the project.
新西兰储备银行表示，将把其数字现金项目搁置，暂缓原定于2030年前推出政府支持的数字货币的计划。该央行未给出重启该计划的新目标日期。
New Zealand's Reserve Bank said it is putting its digital cash project on hold, shelving earlier plans to introduce a government-backed digital currency by 2030. The central bank gave no new target date for reviving the initiative.
该项目曾被宣传为在现金使用率下降之际，提供一种公共替代方案以取代私人支付系统。官员称，暂停将为在任何重启前评估技术和政策问题争取更多时间。
The project had been pitched as a way to offer a public alternative to private payment systems as cash use declines. Officials said the pause will allow more time to assess technical and policy questions before any relaunch.
这一决定使新西兰加入到重新评估央行数字货币工作进度的国家日益增长的名单中，因为在公众和行业兴趣不一的情况下，全球多家央行已放缓了类似项目。
The decision adds New Zealand to a growing list of countries reassessing the pace of central bank digital currency work, as several central banks worldwide have slowed similar projects amid uneven public and industry appetite.
