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

nowadays, China is still in the stage of accelerating the research and development of digital currency. For example, the central bank held a working video conference in the second half of 2019 on August 2, calling for "accelerating the pace of research and development of China's legal digital currency"

and the opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on supporting Shenzhen to build a leading demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics issued in August 2019 clearly stated that "We support the development of innovative applications such as digital currency research and mobile payment in Shenzhen"

it is understood that in the future, the central bank will not issue digital currency directly to the public, but will adopt a two-tier operation system, that is, the central bank will first convert the digital currency to banks or other operating institutions, and then these institutions will convert it to the public. In the early stage, the central bank's legal digital currency may pilot in some scenarios, and then further promote it when it is more mature. For the sake of safety, it will do a good job in the design of pilot exit mechanism

When the new currency was first issued last year, it caused quite a stir. Many people like the appearance of the new version of RMB on the Internet. Because of its small number, some people even bought RMB on Taobao. This is a very unusual phenomenon
when the new version of RMB was first issued, people seldom got it or couldn't get it. This is a very normal phenomenon. We all think that the new version of RMB has a small number when it was first issued, and its circulation is not enough. Therefore, we seldom see it. We can only see it online. But so far, the new version of RMB has been issued for one year, According to the normal progress, it has been implemented nationwide and should be popularized, but why is the new version of RMB still rare now{ RRRRR} digital currency is a kind of currency which is different from the real currency of the real economy. It has its own specific purchasing power, but it can only be purchased in a specific place. Take a simple example, for example, if you play a certain game and the gold coins circulating in the certain game, then it belongs to a kind of digital currency
digital currency can be transformed into currency in normal market circulation in some way, but it can only be used in a scenic area, so it can't be consumed directly in real society< br />
