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
so, what's the significance of this digital currency? Why do you have to work hard to do this? For most people, it really won't have any impact, but for a small number of people, it will have a great impact. This small group of people are those who engage in illegal activities
for example, if some people are corrupt and accept bribes, they specify that they can't let others put money on the bank card. That means they are directly arrested, but they can't be found with cash. If we restrict the large amount of cash consumption in the future, for example, if you have to spend more than 5000 at one time, you can't use cash, you need to use digital currency. In this way, those who have bribed tens of millions of cash in their families may not want to spend all their money in their lifetime. And their illegal income doesn't go to the society. It's just paper. They still occupy space at home. Once they start to spend money in digital currency, it's easy to find out. That is to say, all our income will be counted. Once they are involved in crimes, it's easy to be caught. At that time, there will be less Telecom fraud, This is the meaning of digital currency
The digital RMB red envelope of 10 million yuan issued by Shenzhen city has brought the development of e-money back to the people's vision
in fact, since April 2020, small-scale pilot projects of digital RMB have been carried out in Shenzhen, Cheng, Suzhou and xiong'an, and the pilot scale will be expanded to 28 provinces and cities in August 2020
as a socially recognized "super outlet", in addition to the high investment of digital currency related enterprises, its impact on the financial market is also of great research value
Policy evolution of the development of digital RMBas early as 2014, the central bank has concted research layout on digital RMB, and discussed the development framework of digital RMB with major international financial institutions and research institutions in the 2016 digital currency seminar
after six years of development, China has initially developed the "pbctfp blockchain platform" and continuously promoted the pilot activities of digital RMB. It can be predicted that as today's technology and policy outlet, digital RMB will have excellent development prospects and extremely fast development speed in the next few years
Figure 1: Policy Evolution of digital RMB
with the improvement of China's national strength, digital RMB provides an opportunity to establish a "new system of RMB cross border settlement", which can promote RMB payment activities around the world and realize the internationalization of RMB
China: actively and steadily promote the implementation of the research on the central bank's digital currency
as early as 2014, the central bank set up a special research group on the issue of legal digital currency to demonstrate the feasibility of the central bank's issue of legal digital currency< On October 28, 2019, Huang Qifan, vice president of China Center for international economic exchange, said: "the people's Bank of China has studied DC / EP for five or six years, and I think it has become mature. The people's Bank of China is likely to be the first central bank in the world to launch a digital currency. "
on November 28, fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said at the forum that at present, the central bank's legal digital currency DC / EP has basically completed the top-level design, standard formulation, function research and development, joint debugging and testing under the premise of adhering to double-layer delivery, M0 substitution and controllable anonymity. In the next step, we will follow the principle of steady, safe and controllable, reasonably select the pilot verification area, scene and service scope, continuously optimize and enrich the DC / EP functions, and steadily promote the introction and application of digital legal tender< European Central Bank: exploring the form and possibility of CBDC. 'we are analyzing what form CBDC may take in order to achieve its potential purpose and mitigate its potential negative impact on monetary stability and financial intermediation,' Mr. kindos said. On the stable coin, Mr jindos said that it was very uncertain whether the stable coin could deliver on its promise, and it was clear that it could bring risks to consumers and the financial system. So it is understandable that authorities around the world are calling for regulatory stability.
According to reports, the world's major central banks are focusing on digital currency. Some countries have clearly put forward the plan of issuing legal digital currency. For example, the central banks of Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Russia and other countries have already announced the launch of digital currency research
different from the centralized delivery of traditional electronic payment instruments, the fund transfer of electronic payment instruments must be completed through the account, which adopts the account tight coupling mode, while the central bank's digital currency should be based on the account loose coupling mode, so that the transaction link's dependence on the account is greatly reced, and the central bank's digital currency holders can directly apply it to various scenarios, It is concive to the circulation and internationalization of RMB
According to the experts, digital currency was born in the existing financial system and will inevitably be affected by the existing payment system and information technology. Theoretically speaking, the payment system mainly deals with the demand deposit part of the broad money, while digital currency mainly belongs to the category of cash source: bit110
the functions and properties of digital currency are exactly the same as paper money, but its form is digital Mu Changchun, director of the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank, said that the central bank's digital currency is a digital alternative to paper money, that is, digital currency and electronic payment tools. If we regard the digital currency issued by the central bank as digital RMB cash, we can understand the concept of digital currency very well
Mu Changchun once described such a use scenario: as long as you and I have DC / EP digital wallets on mobile phones, we don't even need the network. As long as the mobile phone has electricity and two mobile phones touch each other, we can transfer the digital currency in one person's digital wallet to another person. Digital money does not need to bind any bank account when it is paid, unlike WeChat and Alipay bank. p>
fan Yifei, vice governor of the central bank, said that the central bank's digital currency focuses on replacing M0 (i.e. banknotes and coins), and maintains the properties and main features of cash, which meets the needs of portability and anonymity, and will be the best tool to replace cash
