On Thursday, 14 May 2026, at 10:00-11:30 BRT (13:00-14:30 UTC), FGV Direito Rio (Fundação Getúlio Vargas, Rio de Janeiro Law School) will host a webinar ‘Digital Public Infrastructure for Payments: Digital Sovereignty, Interoperability and Consumer Protection‘.
This webinar explores Digital Public Infrastructure for Payments as a cornerstone of modern digital economies, focusing on its implications for digital sovereignty, interoperability, and consumer protection. It examines specific case studies, such as the Brazilian Pix and the Indian UPI, exploring how countries design payment systems that balance state control with openness, enabling innovation while safeguarding public interest. Particular attention is given to cross-border interoperability, including emerging solutions such as the Interledger Protocol and multi-CBDC bridges, and to governance frameworks that ensure data protection, cybersecurity, and user rights. Bringing together policy, technical, and legal perspectives, the session provides practical insights into building inclusive, secure, and globally connected payment infrastructures.
