GCR group and Bank of Thailand digital currency

1.

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>

2. 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.

3. I don't know why
so far, no central bank has issued digital currency
even if it will be issued in the future, it is just another form of paper money. It is essentially different from the virtual currency such as bitcoin in financial derivatives or the more traditional digital currency such as e-glod. Will not allow the market to hype its concept!

4. The issue of digital currency has many benefits and is imperative. According to the central bank, digital money and paper money will coexist for a long time to come. When people go to the bank to withdraw money, they can not only withdraw cash directly, but also exchange it into digital currency. In Xiaobian's opinion, the establishment and issuance of digital currency system can not only make people's transactions more convenient and safe, but also graally weaken the proportion of paper money in the real circulation, which will also have a positive impact on the electronic disk of postal money card
when people are used to digital currency, paper money will graally withdraw from the circulation market and enter the collection field. In the new environment of payment and circulation, the traditional paper money will become a symbol of an era and a memory of people. The paper money that used to circulate in the market will also become a kind of cultural and artistic investment goods, active on the electronic disk of the post money card. And those earlier and even rarer coins will also stimulate their prices to rise in this situation. It can be seen that the central bank's graal promotion of digital currency will have a profound impact on people's living habits and investment and financial management, which is worth looking forward to Sohu)
however, digital currency does not have to be used for payment. Some domestic application-oriented digital currencies have begun to find another shortcut and come out with a different truth. For example, coin Ying China crowdfunding project token; Puyin group launched the tea based digital currency Puyin.

In the official letter of Xiangcheng District of Suzhou, enterprises, institutions and management committees of Xiangcheng District are required to sign a digital currency agreement with the wage paying bank, install digital wallets for all staff (except retirees), and pay 50% of the monthly salary in the form of digital currency

this is the first practical application of the central bank's digital currency since the R & D news, which is a historical moment worth remembering

let's review the development of DCEP:

in 2014, the central bank set up a special research group on legal digital currency

in 2016, it set up a digital currency Research Institute on the basis of the original group

in June 2018, it set up Shenzhen Financial Technology Co., Ltd.

in August 2019, the central government issued a document to carry out digital currency research and mobile payment pilot in Shenzhen

on October 29, 2019, At the "2019 Bund financial summit", Huang Qifan, vice president of China Center for international economic exchange, said: "the digital currency DCEP launched by the Central Bank of China is a new crypto electronic currency system based on blockchain technology." This is the debut of DCEP

On April 3, 2020, in the "national teleconference on money, gold, silver and security work", the central bank said that it would "unswervingly promote the research and development of legal digital currency"

On April 10, Zhou Xuedong, director of the general office of the people's Bank of China, pointed out at the "first quarter financial statistics press conference" that "with regard to digital currency, the people's Bank of China is advancing in an orderly manner according to the original plan."

on April 14, the central bank's digital currency DCEP took the lead in the internal test of ABC

on April 16, Xiangcheng District of Suzhou realized the implementation of the first application scenario of central bank's digital currency DCEP, using "digital wallet" as the payment channel and issuing it in the form of transportation subsidies

judging from various actions, the central bank's plan for digital currency is well prepared and in an orderly and continuous progress

why DCEP

from the national level, it is well known that the macroeconomic regulation and control means of sovereign countries are mainly through monetary policy and fiscal policy, just like the current global lack of liquidity e to the epidemic, China's economy is stimulated by interest rate rection and government spending, but the funds are transmitted layer by layer, and there are few funds really used for the target range

if we use the central bank's digital currency system, we can analyze and track a large number of transactions, and use the most direct and efficient means to put funds where they need, so as to release liquidity and benefit the people

from the international level,

the use of blockchain technology can realize the review of national credit and increase the credit of the country's monetary system. With the increase of GNP, credit must also increase, and the process of RMB internationalization will be more rapid

this is very simple to understand. Blockchain technology makes it impossible for asset certificates to be forged and makes credit verifiable, which is naturally concive to RMB internationalization

Last year, the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued a report that up to now, nearly 70% of the central banks are studying the digital currency of the central bank, which also shows that the digital wave is the general trend. At present, the central bank's digital currency DCEP is likely to be used on a large scale ahead of other countries in the world, and the era of digital currency is coming

the era of digital economy is getting closer and closer

today's era is a digital era. With the comprehensive rise of technological innovation and digital economy, science and technology has changed from the initial role of a tool to the backbone of financial reform. The continuous collision and integration of digital five complete genes (whole airspace, whole process, whole scene, full analysis, and full value) and financial instry not only changes the settlement and settlement methods and sovereign currency issuance mechanism among indivials, enterprises, and countries, but also greatly improves the operation efficiency of instrial chain, and brings the development of the whole economic society and human progress

if blockchain technology will "genetically transform" all walks of life, then digital currency will "genetically transform" the financial instry. Looking forward to the future, the in-depth integration and transformation of traditional instries by blockchain, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Internet of things and other technologies will lead us into a new era of digital economy

in short, the era of digital economy is getting closer and closer to us

the implementation of the central bank's digital currency is bound to bring disruptive changes to the existing financial market and breed huge wealth opportunities. The future has come, the wind has come, keep up with the pace of the instry, accurately grasp the future trend, and quickly seize the blue ocean of wealth business

6. The block chain based digital bill trading platform promoted by the central bank has been tested successfully. The legal digital currency issued by the central bank has been put into trial operation on the platform, and the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank will also be officially listed
compared with paper money, the advantage of digital currency is that it can not only save the cost of issuance and circulation, but also improve the efficiency of transaction or investment, and enhance the convenience and transparency of economic transaction activities. The issue of digital currency by the central bank also ensures the continuity of financial policy and the integrity of monetary policy, and also ensures the security of monetary transactions
although the issuing method of digital currency is still under study, paper currency has been regarded as "the currency of the previous generation" by some professionals, and it is the general trend to be replaced by new technologies and procts. Due to China's large population and volume, the timetable for issuing digital currency is still uncertain
however, the domestic Puyin group is the first to launch the tea based digital currency Puyin.

On July 8, the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China formally reached a strategic cooperation agreement with didi travel to jointly study and explore the scene innovation and application of digital RMB in the field of intelligent travel. The two sides hope to promote the platform ecological construction of digital RMB in diversified travel scenarios through the establishment of cooperative relationship

didi travel said that under the guidance of relevant departments, it will cooperate with the digital currency Research Institute to strictly implement the guidelines put forward by the Party Central Committee and the State Council to improve the ability of financial services to the real economy, and promote the integrated development of the digital economy and the real economy

8. The digital currency issued by the central bank has the property of currency, which can be used as currency and is the digitalization of currency. But the hundred million cent coin is not the same. It is not legal. It is a typical pyramid selling coin. This kind of coin is very rampant in China, and there is no practical application
of course, there are some companies in China trying to combine digital currency with real assets. For example, coin Ying China has applied digital currency to crowdfunding to make digital currency serve the real economy.
