then why hasn't the central bank done this yet


Depends. Several central banks are working on exactly that, see for example the recent speech by the FED and the whole GENIUS act regulation framework.

But to be honest where I am (northwest Europe) we already have subsecond person-to-person transactions via the normal banking system, no matter which bank the sender and receiver use. So stablecoin-ifying the Euro wouldn't make a huge difference. There might be more to gain if the region doesn't have that kind of payment infrastructure yet.
