UK Finance Digital Gilt Roadmap
This UK Finance Digital Gilt Roadmap, written in conjunction with EY, and submitted to UK government in April 2024 provides a blueprint on how the UK could lead with a successful digital gilt issuance.
Deep collaboration across industry with UK policymakers has been instrumental in getting us to where we are today. This UK Finance Digital Gilt Roadmap aims to support discussions between government, the Debt Management Office, HM Treasury, regulators and wider industry stakeholders. For the purposes of this paper, we use “digital gilts” to refer to digital sovereign debt instruments that would include digital Treasury bills and digital gilts of varying tenors.
A digital gilt was as key recommendation of UK Finance's 2023 Unlocking the Power of Securities Tokenisation report. This 2023 report provided an operational roadmap for industry and policy makers and explored how the tokenisation of the securities markets and the corresponding use of distributed ledger technology and smart contracts will fundamentally transform the capital markets and international banking infrastructure here in the UK.
