Project FuSSE marks the first collaboration between the BIS and the Inter-American Development Bank, following an agreement signed by the two institutions in mid-September 2023. The project will benefit from the expertise of each institution as well as from central banks in Latin America and the Caribbean that will be invited to join at a later stage. The BIS's experience in technical experimentation and its global scope is complemented by the IDB's knowledge of the regional systems and their interactions, as well as its tools for reaching out to the region's relevant players.
