Readiness is a system, not a single statistic.
The index measures enabling capacity—not whether a country should, or will, launch a CBDC. The full console exposes ranks, country profiles, partial data, weights, correlations and methodological choices.
CBDC Readiness Index
Scores are recalculated from the published panel using CRITIC information weights and weighted geometric aggregation. The weakest pillar is visible as the binding constraint.
