practical significance
the digitalization of central bank's currency helps to optimize the central bank's monetary payment function, improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy. The central bank's digital currency can become an interest bearing asset to meet the holder's reserve demand for safe assets, and can also become the lower limit of bank deposit interest rate
can also become a new monetary policy tool. At the same time, the central bank can affect the bank's deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the central bank's digital currency interest rate, and help break the zero interest rate lower limit
operation system
fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said in the article that the digital currency of the people's Bank of China should adopt a two-tier operation system. This model does not change the relationship between creditor's rights and debt of currency in circulation, does not change the existing money supply system and al account structure, does not constitute a competition for commercial banks' deposit currency, and does not increase commercial banks' dependence on the interbank lending market
will not affect the lending ability of commercial banks, and will not lead to the phenomenon of "financial disintermediation". At the same time, because it does not affect the existing monetary policy transmission mechanism, it will not strengthen the pro cyclical effect under the pressure environment, and it can improve the convenience and security of payment, and it also has the credit advantage of central bank endorsement

Digital RMB is coming! What is the impact on people's lives
secondly, many people think that digital RMB has special functions of anti money laundering and anti-corruption because of its traceability. I think that's half right. The introction of digital RMB really has a deterrent effect on money laundering. With the participation of blockchain technology, relevant departments can effectively find the source of funds, So as to effectively curb money laundering
however, it may not be so easy to crack down on corruption. Some corrupt elements may turn their money into a house and put it in the name of their relatives, but you can't find it, or some corrupt elements may put their corrupt money directly at home, and law enforcement agencies can't find it at all. Unless, like India's Modi, the old version of large banknotes will be voided and replaced with new banknotes. In the replacement, it is necessary to show the proof of the legal source of the huge amount of property
thirdly, digital currency can also help poverty alleviation and provide national welfare. During the epidemic period, China has formulated a lot of welfare policies for enterprises and indivials. However, e to inaccurate information and unimpeded channels, it is unable to benefit every enterprise and indivial. If we use the digital RMB channel, we believe that every enterprise and indivial will benefit directly. In this way, we can save time cost and channel operation cost without going through a third party. In addition, if we lay out the digital RMB well in advance, the state can distribute benefits to the people more directly and quickly, and it can also be accurate to the indivial. These will give our country is vigorously layout of the circular economy has played a role in boosting
Digital RMB is coming! What is the impact on people's lives
fourthly, digital RMB will play a positive role in import and export trade and lay a solid foundation for RMB internationalization in the next step. In addition to the use of digital RMB in import and export trade, it can also expand the influence of digital RMB in the world. In addition, China now has tens of millions of Chinese and overseas Chinese all over the world, who will play a positive role in the promotion and circulation of digital RMB. With the increasing status of RMB internationalization, the introction of digital RMB is more concive to the promotion and use of RMB in the world, and lays the foundation for RMB internationalization
of course, some people worry that if the network is cut off or the mobile phone has no signal, then digital currency can not be used, which is an irresistible accident. The central bank should take this into account before launching the digital Renminbi. In this regard, we believe that RMB banknotes and coins will not withdraw from circulation for a long time in the future. In the future, digital RMB and banknotes will coexist for a long time. Therefore, people can rest assured that the introction of digital RMB by the central bank will not affect people's daily life.
moreover, it is totally different from q-coin and bitcoin. Commonly known as q-coin and bitcoin, these belong to virtual currency. Compared with digital currency, the most fundamental difference lies in the difference of issuers
virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency. The issuer is not the central bank, and it can only circulate in a specific virtual environment, such as Tencent Q coin and other game coins; Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency, bitcoin is illegal digital currency
legal digital currency is the digital currency issued by the state and the central bank in China
this kind of digital currency can carry on the ordinary on-line mobile payment, also may carry on the sweep code payment, is similar to the Alipay and WeChat's using method, is very convenient.
this new type of legal digital currency is actually much more convenient than the existing means of mobile payment for three reasons:
first, legal digital currency does not need bank transfer and withdrawal
now we need to use Alipay and WeChat to bind the bank cards on Alipay and WeChat first, then transfer the money in the bank card to Alipay and WeChat, which is very troublesome. p>
but legal digital currency itself is stored in the bank card account, so there is no need to transfer in and withdraw the operation, you can directly withdraw the digital currency on the ATM, or you can directly use the app to pay, which is very convenient
however, some of the so-called digital currency systems are deceptive in themselves. Authentic digital currency generally refers to bitcoin, Leyte currency, decent and other digital cryptocurrency.
all virtual currencies of digital currency are illegal in China
