Article’s title is clickbait; It’s an anti money laundering measure in general not directly to push CBDC.

Because, of course, money is laundered $250 at a time.
You serious?
“Customers should be encouraged to use alternative channels (Internet banking, mobile banking apps, USSD, cards/POS, eNaira, etc.) to conduct their banking transactions.”

Yes, i’m serious. I don’t see anything directed to use strictly CBDC here. They seem like to tackle tax evasion for business and individuals (read it like: traceable) In many countries there are limits on what you can do with cash already.

If cash did not already exist, the authorities would never allow it to be created and used in today's world.
