1.
The digital currency of the central bank is DCEP
the name of the digital currency developed by the central bank is DCEP (digital currency electronic payment). DC is digital currency. EP is electronic payment. Payment transmits digital things through a certain way, not paper currency. Therefore, electronic payment itself has the attribute of digital currency
The characteristics of digital currency are: low transaction cost; Fast trading speed; Highly anonymous

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

2. By digital currency, the central bank means to digitize RMB rather than issue a new currency independent of RMB
some people who issue digital currency against the central bank are deceiving.

3.
It's not true
the central bank indicated that it has not issued legal digital currency, nor authorized any institutions and enterprises to issue legal digital currency, and there is no promotion team. The so-called digital currency in the market is not legal digital currency
in addition, the so-called digital currency launched by some institutions and enterprises and the so-called promotion of the central bank's issuance of digital currency may involve pyramid selling and fraud. The general public should raise their risk awareness, invest rationally and prudently, and prevent the interests from being damaged. The legal currency of our country is RMB. RMB shall be uniformly printed and issued by the people's Bank of China
extended information:
precautions:
in the whole process of digital currency promotion, we should pay attention to the overall financial stability, guard against risks, and protect consumers, especially in large economies, to prevent big losses. We should test step by step to promote it. We should grasp the direction, and emphasize financial services for the real economy, Prevent excessive speculation
digital money does not need to bind any bank account when it is paid. Unlike WeChat and Alipay, it needs to bind the bank card. DCEP does not need to bind the bank account. Unless it is necessary to charge DCEP or to withdraw money from DCEP, it is unnecessary to transfer account between users and users. p>
4. On the issue of issuing their own digital currency, central banks are always less thunderous. Central banks around the world are considering issuing their own digital currencies to compete with cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, but they have been unable to do so for a long time
the media's attention to the central bank's digital currency has increased significantly, especially after Zuckerberg testified in Congress on the Libra issue and Christina Lagarde acknowledged the "clear demand" for stable currency at her first media reception as president of the European Central Bank, which seems to have changed the public's view on this matter, Let many people in cryptocurrency community think that cbdcs is in sight<
according to the latest survey report released by the bank for International Settlements, central banks in the past seven years have been investigating this technology and assessing its impact. Of the 63 central banks surveyed, 55 said they were unlikely to issue cbdcs in the next three years, and only one reported that they were "highly likely to issue large-scale cbdcs in the next three to six years."
although the proportion of central banks studying cbdcs is very high, the crux of the problem is that it is mainly theoretical and investigative work. Only five central banks have concted more in-depth research and real project development or experimentation - but that still does not mean that they will necessarily issue cbdcs
through close observation, it is more and more obvious that both Libra recently released by Facebook and the new stable currency assets have had a significant impact on the central bank. Today's situation took hundreds of years to form, but it changed in a few months; Competition, the most terrifying and unfamiliar concept that has never been thought of before and penetrated into the elite society of central banks, is now knocking at the door
it can be said that the solution to the current situation is still unclear. Some people who are familiar with these things even say that they are bluffing. However, in Lagarde's own words, the slow and wait-and-see regulatory approach can no longer meet the needs
1. What is central bank digital currency<
what is the difference between central bank digital currency CBDC and other digital currencies
CBDC is a new form of currency, which is directly issued by the central bank in digital form as legal tender. The current form of legal currency is cash, reserve deposit or balance settlement< There are two main differences between CBDC and other digital currencies (including cryptocurrency and other forms of central bank currency):
1. CBDC has nothing to do with cryptoassets. They're not decentralized, they don't have to be blockchain based, and they're certainly not anonymous, they're not unlicensed, they're not censored< 2. Contrary to the current digital cash, the operation structure of CBDC will be different from other forms of central bank currency. CBDC has more powerful functions. They are programmable, can generate interest, can be cleared in near real time, and have cheaper handling charges and wider openness
when designing CBDC, the speed of central banks is different. Different central banks adopt their own approach. However, in general, there are three problems being explored: whether CBDC should be based on token or account number, whether CBDC should be batch (only open to banks) or retail (open to the public), and whether it should be based on DLT
when CBDC is to be implemented, things will become complicated, and there are many thorny problems to be considered
for example, once CBDC is launched, does it need to cancel cash? Should CBDC carry interest? Should they have face value like cash? Or linked to the total price index? What impact will this have on commercial banks? What about anonymity and privacy? All these questions need to be answered<
2. Motivation for issuing CBDC
in the 2017 staff discussion paper, the Bank of Canada gave six reasons for issuing CBDC in an article entitled "central bank digital currency: motivation and impact":
1. Ensure that the central bank provides sufficient cash to the public, and maintain the seigniorage revenue of the central bank
2, Support non-traditional monetary policy
3. Rece overall risk and improve financial stability
4. Improve payment competitiveness
5. Promote financial inclusiveness
6. Curb criminal activities
looking back at the bank for International Settlements survey we analyzed earlier, payment security and domestic efficiency are selected as the most important motives of the central bank. According to a large number of papers published by the central bank and other large financial institutions, for developed countries, the transformation into a cashless society is the main driving factor, while for developing countries, financial inclusiveness, cost rection and operational efficiency are the main motivation
throughout the rest of the reports and the literature that can be found, the fierce competition brought about by bitcoin and other innovations in the cryptocurrency instry, as well as the clear need for "one step ahead", of course, are not listed as the reasons for issuing CBDC< The advantages and potential risks of CBDC are very low.
if the central bank starts to launch CBDC and succeeds in the end, there are many potential benefits
from a technical point of view, CBDC is much better than the current form of legal currency. They can be tracked better, collect taxes more conveniently, transmit monetary policy better, have better financial inclusiveness, and rece the cost of procing physical currency
the most obvious advantage is that payment is cheaper and faster, whether it is domestic payment or cross-border payment
in addition to the design and implementation problems, a key problem of issuing CBDC is that CBDC may increase the risk of bank operation. However, this only happens when banks promise that their deposits can be converted into CBDC on demand, which is not necessarily the case, according to the Bank of England document
4. Facts on the ground
how far is it from us to see a real CBDC appear in the market? It's hard to estimate, but at present, we can sum up the current situation in one sentence: all talk but no practice
if we put aside the failed digital currencies of Ecuador, Tunisia and Venezuela, we can only do theoretical research, a small amount of experiments, and issue some feasible CBDC issuance announcements supported by the state in the future
the most famous CBDC projects in progress are: e-peso in Uruguay (the project was successfully tested in 2018), DCEP in China, "project Inthanon" in Thailand, e-krona in Sweden (still in the research stage)...
5. The revolution has not yet been successful, and comrades still need to work hard
considering the factors mentioned above, Most of the headlines about CBDC's upcoming release are groundless. All projects scheled to be released this year have been delayed
in fact, there is still a long way to go for the birth of CBDC, and to convince the public, we need more than a statement. Given the current situation, it seems that CBDC and other cryptocurrencies may not affect each other - at least for now.

5. You can call the police, because many of the digital currencies issued in China are illegal fund-raising activities. The Ponzi scheme in the guise of blockchain usually means that the people in front earn the money of the new entrants in the back, and the platform profits from it. However, these funds have a running cycle, and they will collapse when the time comes
2. Digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. It is an unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of a specific virtual community
it is different from the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it can be used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games. The early digital currency (digital gold currency) is a form of electronic currency named after the weight of gold. Today's digital currencies, such as bitcoin, lightcoin and ppcoin, are electronic currencies created, issued and circulated by means of check sum cryptography
on October 13, the International Monetary Fund predicted that global GDP would shrink by 4.4% in 2020, up 0.8 percentage points from the forecast in June. This year, China remains the only major economy the IMF expects to achieve positive growth< Tobias Adrian, head of the IMF's monetary and capital markets department, said in an exclusive interview with China first finance and economics reporter recently that China's economic recovery is leading the world, while the pilot of the central bank's digital currency (DCEP) is leading the world. He believes that at present DCEP is still focusing on M0 (cash in circulation), which has little impact on banks. In the early stage, DCEP will pay more attention to the application in China. In the future, as more countries begin to pilot central bank digital currency (CBDC), the cross-border use and convertibility of CBDC will be concerned
recently, the promotion of global central banks' digital currency is accelerating. Some mainstream central banks have changed their conservative attitude in their early years and accelerated the research on CBDC. China has taken the lead in carrying out relevant pilot projects. At 8:00 on October 11, Shenzhen "Lixiang Luohu digital RMB red envelope" booking ended, and the system successfully completed the pilot booking registration, which is an important step in the development process of digital RMB
Adrian said: "China's digital currency pilot is leading the world, and the IMF is closely following the pilot situation of China's digital currency in some urban areas." From the perspective of monetary statistics, the central bank's digital currency belongs to the category of M0, that is, cash, not M1 or m2. Therefore, he does not think it is necessary to worry about the impact on banks in the initial stage.

6. Generally speaking, DCEP is the "digital currency with value characteristics" issued by the state. It can completely replace the market banknotes and has the same functions and attributes as banknotes. The release of DCEP redefines what digital currency represents. In the past, bitcoin, Ethereum and other currencies also had multiple nicknames such as digital currency or cryptocurrency. Now digital currency needs to be removed from these nicknames
in terms of positioning, the central bank's digital currency DCEP is not simply the digitization of banknotes, but to replace M0 (banknotes and coins) and change the form of the base currency. M0 refers to the cash in circulation, that is, the sum of the cash on hand of various units outside the banking system and the cash held by residents. The digitalization of banknotes generally refers to online replacement of lines, such as Alipay and WeChat, which all belong to online payment. However, both of them need to bind bank cards to pay. DCEP does not have this restriction, that is to say, when using DCEP for payment, there is no need to bind any bank account
the name of digital currency is easy to associate with cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, but there is a fundamental difference between DCEP and them: DCEP is centralized while bitcoin is decentralized
to be exact, DCEP is a kind of sovereign credit currency, while the latter two are the procts of the idea of "currency non nationalization". The paper money itself has no value. The reason why it can perform the function of currency is that it is supported by the national credit and has the nature of legal compensation and compulsion. However, cryptocurrency such as bitcoin is a kind of private currency in essence and has no solid credit foundation. Therefore, any cryptocurrency with its own mining algorithm, following P2P protocol, limited amount, reaching a certain degree of consensus and decentralization can be a substitute for bitcoin
comparatively speaking, if there is a substitute for DCEP, it can only be other forms of RMB, such as banknotes and coins. That is to say, the digital currency DCEP issued by the central bank is still the debt of the central bank to the public, and this relationship between creditor's rights and debt will not change with the change of currency form.

7. It is wrong to say that China's digital currency comes from the people, because it comes from the present. Science.
8. Deceptively, central banks don't issue digital money at all. All kinds of digital currencies on the market are essentially a game of playing drums and spreading money, plus a pyramid scheme! It's all scams carefully packaged by swindlers! It's just a tool to cut leeks in coin circle. The important thing is to say three times: don't invest in digital currency! Don't invest in digital currency! Don't invest in digital currencies.
9. Yes, the digital currency developed by the central bank is called DCEP. DC is digital currency and EP is electronic payment. Payment transmits digital things through a certain way, not paper currency. Therefore, electronic payment itself has the attribute of digital currency.
