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

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

3. So far, we can't buy the digital currency issued by the central bank, but it's coming soon
according to the news on August 10, Mu Changchun, deputy director general of the payment and Settlement Department of the people's Bank of China, said at the third China finance forum that the central bank's digital currency will soon be launched and will adopt a two-tier operation system, that is, the people's Bank of China will be the upper tier and commercial institutions will be the second tier< As for why the central bank's digital currency chooses the "two-tier operation system", Mu Changchun explained:
1. The central bank's digital currency is bound to face the retail scene and the public, while the performance of bitcoin and Libra can not meet the high concurrency. After a period of research, it is decided to adopt the two-tier system
2. It is a complex system engineering for big countries to issue central bank digital currency
3. The IT infrastructure application and service system of commercial banks and other institutions have been relatively mature, the user base is huge, and the service habit has been formed; There are plenty of talents and it experts; The system has strong processing ability, and has accumulated some experience in the application of financial technology
4. Through the design of two-tier operation, risk can be avoided to concentrate on a single indivial
5. Single layer investment will lead to "financial disintermediation". If the central bank directly releases digital money to the public, it will crowd out the deposits of commercial banks and affect the loan delivery ability of commercial banks; In extreme cases, it will also subvert the existing financial system, leading to the "grand unification" of the central bank
6; It will not affect the existing monetary policy transmission mechanism
7. The central bank will not preset the technology route, any advanced technology may be used in the research and development of the central bank's digital currency; The boundary between electronic payment and central bank digital currency is fuzzy; It can fully mobilize market forces and realize system optimization through competition
it can be seen that the central bank has recognized the legitimacy of bitcoin and Ethernet in disguised form. However, the central bank's digital currency is different from the traditional blockchain digital currency. It is 1:1 anchored RMB. I regard it as RMB digitization. The central bank's digital currency, paper money, coins and bonds exist at the same time, but in different ways. It is a kind of stable currency, and there is no room for speculation
at the beginning of this year, the most influential event of digital currency is Facebook's upcoming launch of digital currency Libra. If successful, it will bring 3 billion Facebook users into digital currency. However, Libra has not included the RMB in its basket of currencies. Coupled with the sweater war and exchange rate war with the United States, this may be the reason why the central bank urgently launched the central bank's digital currency. It is said that Wal Mart will also launch digital currency. With JPMorgan's issuing currency before, it can be predicted that traditional business giants will enter the era of blockchain digital currency one after another
the issuance of digital currency by the central bank may be a great benefit to the users of China's currency circle. Due to some policy reasons, the users' access to the digital currency world is not very smooth, which is the problem of difficult access to money. The most common stable currency, usdt, does not seem to be very stable and over issued seriously. In addition, the attorney general's office in New York investigates TEDA and other reasons, There may be a risk of thunderstorm at any time. According to statistics, about 80% of the users who use usdt are Chinese users, while the United States uses USD directly, and a few will use usdt. If the central bank introces digital currency, it will greatly facilitate digital currency users
finally, the other role of the central bank's digital currency is cross-border trade settlement. If it is combined with Alipay and WeChat payment, it will compete abroad and compete with Libra internationally.

Digital currency adopts a two-tier operation system, which will not affect the real economy< single tier operation system is to issue digital currency directly to the public. First, the digital currency is converted to banks or other operating institutions, and then these institutions are converted to the public, which belongs to a two-tier operating system& rdquo; On the whole, this al delivery system is suitable for China's national conditions. It can not only use the existing resources to mobilize the enthusiasm of commercial banks, but also smoothly improve the acceptance of digital currency

Third, help to control corruption

in the process of many people's livelihood funds distribution, it can be fixed to people through the way of digital currency smart contract, and the relevant funds can be directly distributed to the people's digital wallet, without going through layers of middle links, so as to put an end to the possibility of false report, false claim and embezzlement in advance
