LONDON, May 10 (Reuters) - Britain must not be left
behind in rapid financial innovation and it was getting closer
to deciding "when, rather than if" it would issue a digital
version of sterling, its financial services minister said on
Wednesday.
"I don't want the UK to be left behind," Andrew Griffith
told an event held by OMFIF think tank. "We need to stay ahead
of the innovation curve."
