Legal digital currency helps internationalization
Hello, the replacement of paper-based RMB by digital RMB is basically certain. Just as the era goes from entity to e-commerce, RMB also goes from offline to online. Its function is exactly the same as paper money, that is, the digital version of paper money
at present, China's digital currency is a leading technology, which is bound to accelerate its digital currency construction in the short term, in order to find the gap with DCEP. However, DCEP can ultimately promote the nationalization of RMB, still depends on the steady growth of domestic economy and the international circulation ability of RMB itself, not only on the digital technology of RMB, but also has a long way to go
The main reasons for China to accelerate the pace of promoting digital RMB are as follows:
Third, Digital monetary policy is more transparent, which is concive to strengthening the stability of the entire monetary system digital currency has other advantages, which can make monetary policy more transparent. Economics generally believes that monetary policy should strengthen the monetary transmission mechanism, and the implementation of monetary policy should be systematic and transparent, so as to strengthen the stability of the whole monetary system. The issue of digital RMB provides a very good opportunity to improve the transparency of the central bank's monetary policy framework. Through digital currency, central banks can provide a lasting, credible and transparent nominal anchor for the economic system
Fourthly, it makes it easier for the state to supervise the flow of funds and facilitate the state to levy taxes1. In the case of poor network signal, the payment function of online banking and payment platform is often paralyzed, but even if the central bank has no network, as long as two mobile phones with DC / EP digital wallet touch, the transfer or payment function can be realized
2. Digital currency doesn't need to bind any bank account, which gets rid of the control of traditional bank account system
3. Paper currency may be lost or stolen, but digital RMB is completely electronic. Even if the mobile phone is lost, digital RMB will not be lost, and the security index is very high
Digital RMB can meet the normal anonymous needs of consumers, such as micro payment, digital RMB is like cash, the other party can't track your consumption The birth of digital currency can rece the damage to nature; It can also enable the state to effectively check the source of funds, which is very helpful for combating money launderingas for the regionalization and internationalization of RMB, we can graally seek monetary cooperation within the framework of ASEAN 10 + 1 pseudo economic cooperation. We can fix their respective exchange rates and float jointly with foreign countries. When the time is ripe, we can use strong RMB to replace other currencies or take RMB as the dominant currency to create a single currency and realize monetary unification. Secondly, it can expand to ASEAN 10 + 3 on the basis of ASEAN 10 + 1 and unite with Japan and South Korea. At that time, RMB will really grow into an international currency with far-reaching influence, just like the euro to Europe and the US dollar to America
secondly, in terms of monetary function, we should promote the internationalization of RMB in three steps, that is, adhere to the three-step strategy of RMB settlement currency, RMB investment currency and RMB reserve currency. In this process, we should steadily promote the process of RMB capital account convertibility, actively and steadily carry out offshore financial business, and graally implement the target area management of exchange rate
historically, which country's currency becomes a valuation currency in international trade and capital flow will take the initiative in international economic transactions. Take capital export as an example. Among the three capital flow centers in the world, when Britain and the United States were capital exporting countries, they all used their local currency as the valuation currency, while after the 1970s, when Japan was the capital export center, they used US dollar as the valuation currency. result; Japanese enterprises and financial institutions are very passive in dealing with the exchange rate risk in the foreign exchange market. When the yen rose sharply, these enterprises and financial institutions suffered huge losses. This is considered by many people as one of the important reasons for Japan's economic recession for more than a decade
for a large economic country, if the local currency can not comply with the trend of domestic trade growth and become the pricing currency of the open international financial market and trade, then the national currency will not become one of the major international reserve currencies. This means that the domestic currency has not obtained the international currency status which is relative to the total economic volume and the total trade volume. In order to deal with the macro financial risk of exchange rate fluctuations, the government must hold a large number of foreign exchange reserves. In today's international monetary system, US dollar and euro are the main pricing currencies in the international financial market, so US dollar and euro have become the main reserve currencies in the world. Correspondingly, the foreign exchange reserves of the United States and the European Union are very small. By the end of June 2007, the value of foreign exchange reserves of the United States was only US $41.5 billion, and that of the European Central Bank was only 41.4 billion euros. In contrast, in Asia, although Japan and China are among the top countries in the world in terms of economic aggregate, neither the Japanese yen nor the RMB has gained the status of an important pricing currency in the international financial market. As a result, China and Japan have the largest foreign exchange reserves in the world
with the development of China's economy, it should be our long-term goal to take corresponding strategies to graally integrate RMB into the international reserve currency system, break the current reserve currency pattern of the western world dominated by US dollar and euro, and promote the construction of multipolar reserve currency system. In this process, China should adopt a consistent graal strategy to promote the internationalization of RMB through the regionalization of RMB. At the same time, we should develop an open international asset market valued in RMB and provide more choices of RMB financial assets for foreign investors. Only after such a stage can RMB really gain the status of reserve currency, and we can get rid of the trouble of worrying about the amount of foreign exchange reserves.
Whether it is London in the 19th century, New York in the 1920s or Tokyo in the 1980s, in the process of currency internationalization, the market scale of domestic stock and other financial procts expanded rapidly, thus establishing the city's position as an international financial center. The promotion of RMB internationalization will greatly promote Shanghai's efforts to build an international financial center and consolidate Hong Kong's status as an international financial center
according to the definition of IMF, currency internationalization refers to the process in which a country's currency crosses its national boundaries, freely exchanges, trades and circulates around the world, and finally becomes an international currency
thank you for your adoption
1. For commercial banks and other financial institutions, it is both an opportunity and a challenge. In the future, more innovations such as digital credit, digital assets and digital liabilities will be derived from digital currency, while the non sovereign "digital right currency" will graally cool down. In addition, the central bank can improve the efficiency of monetary operation monitoring and enrich monetary policy means after the issuance of digital currency
2. Issuing the legal digital currency of the central bank will make it possible to collect the data of money creation, bookkeeping and flow in real time. After data desensitization, it will conct in-depth analysis through big data and other technical means, so as to provide a useful reference for money supply, formulation and Implementation of monetary policy, and provide a useful means for economic regulation and control
extended data:
characteristics of digital currency
Central Bank digital currency is quite different from electronic payment in some functions. In the past, the fund transfer of electronic payment instruments must be completed through the traditional bank account, which adopts the way of "account tightly coupled"
and the central bank's digital currency is "account loose coupling", which can be separated from the traditional bank account to realize the value transfer and greatly rece the dependence of the transaction link on the account. The digital currency of the central bank can be as easy to circulate as cash, which is concive to the circulation and internationalization of RMB. At the same time, it can realize controllable anonymity
