The International Working Group on Data Protection in Technology (IWGDPT), the so-called "Berlin Group", chaired by the BfDI, has adopted a working paper on digital central bank money. The paper describes important privacy-related risk factors and provides practical recommendations on how to manage these risks.

The Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI), Professor Ulrich Kelber, and the Information Commissioner of the United Kingdom (ICO), John Edwards, confirmed the cooperation of their authorities at a meeting in Venice. To this end, they signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
