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

Application of digital currency

I. fast, economic and safe payment and settlement

cross border payment helps RMB internationalization. In 2015, the settlement volume of cross-border payment involving current account is about 8 trillion yuan. To accelerate the internationalization of RMB, cross-border payment and settlement procts and solutions with low cost, high efficiency and low risk are needed

At present, there are still a lot of repetitive human work in the bank's electronic loan process and processing process, and as the basic support of loan issuance, many of the collateral has the situation of false pricing or multiple or even no collateral. We can consider using digital currency to price and track bank collateral:

3. Bill finance and supply chain finance

in recent years, various bill market businesses based on commercial bills have grown rapidly, and bill financing procts have become a hot area of Internet financing. However, about 70% of the current bill businesses in China are still paper transactions, Supply chain finance is also highly dependent on labor costs

Is a way of payment, WeChat, Alipay, the biggest drawback is private enterprises, your money to leave your bank card, it is not yours, they can seal your account, the account has your property, they say occupy, no mercy, the central bank will not say occupy, is illegal imprisonment, do not say occupy, WeChat can be suspected of breaking the law. Don't think that if you have less money, they don't covet it, they just don't have a chance. Don't think how good ma Yun and Ma Huateng are. They are businessmen, and you are the same. You don't care if a lot of money passes by you

Hello, where are the first batch of pilot cities of the central bank's digital currency? Do you think they are well deserved super first tier cities "Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen"? I want to tell you that it's not all right. Except Shenzhen, the other three cities are Cheng, Suzhou and xiong'an new area. At present, Shenzhen is the earliest city to launch digital currency. On October 9, Shenzhen issued 10 million digital currency. 50000 people, 200 yuan per person, can enjoy the welfare, which is distributed to everyone free of charge through the way of wagging number. Here, I can only envy you. The implementation of digital currency is so fast. The friends in the pilot cities are lucky. I just want to watch you win the lottery

the first batch of pilot cities are selected in these four cities, which is the first step for digital currency to go to the whole country. When it matures in the future, it will be promoted to more pilot cities. So don't worry, just wait. Even if our city is not a pilot, it doesn't matter. Next time it will be our city. The pilot is just to test the stability of the system, and we don't have a great chance to get the red envelope of digital currency. There are so many people in Shenzhen, and only 50000 numbers are selected. Here we would like to express our support and thanks to the cities selected as the pilot cities of digital currency

advantages of digital currency:

1. Save cost and improve efficiency

in the traditional electronic payment process, funds are stored in the third-party platform. The third-party platform deposits funds through the time difference of payment to obtain short-term interest income, which makes customers and businesses suffer losses, and the transaction process has two capital transfers, which makes the transaction process rendant. Electronic payment based on blockchain technology eliminates the third-party platform and realizes peer-to-peer payment (P2P), which simplifies the payment process and reces the payment cost

2. Optimize the traditional payment function

digital currency can inherit the advantages of cash payment (point-to-point payment, instant payment and settlement, convenient and fast), and solve the defects of cash at the same time. In this condition, controllable anonymity can be realized at the same time. That is to say, compared with traditional mobile payment, digital signature is used to effectively protect the personal information of each participant, so as to prevent the loss, leakage or malicious tampering of the user's personal information

3. Control the whole life cycle of currency and control the return of currency

The economist Stiglitz studies the macroeconomic management of e-money system, and points out that the electronization and digitalization of money will help to improve the ability of central bank to monitor money flow and organize market, and improve the effectiveness of monetary policy. More importantly, legal digital currency will create a new price based monetary policy tool, which can break the zero interest rate lower limit and release monetary policy space

Digital currency does not rely on physical outlets and labor services, and has low cost of infrastructure and human resources. It can obtain a larger service capacity with less material and human input, which is concive to the expansion of financial services in remote and poor areas. Moreover, financial services based on digital currency have the characteristics of small amount and convenience, such as "massive transactions, small and micro single amount", which create conditions for the general public to facilitate life and increase employment

6. There is no central bank digital currency service area in China, and the central bank has not issued or authorized any institution to issue digital currency. However, at the beginning of this year, the central bank held a seminar on digital currency and planned to launch digital currency. However, the design concept of this kind of digital currency is different from that of mainstream digital currencies such as bitcoin, Ruitai currency and Laite currency< However, the relevant person in charge of the central bank also said that the time for issuing digital currency is not ripe, at least in ten years. Not only blockchain technology, but also other new technologies can be used for reference.
