extended data:

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

so, what's the significance of this digital currency? Why do you have to work hard to do this? For most people, it really won't have any impact, but for a small number of people, it will have a great impact. This small group of people are those who engage in illegal activities

for example, if some people are corrupt and accept bribes, they specify that they can't let others put money on the bank card. That means they are directly arrested, but they can't be found with cash. If we restrict the large amount of cash consumption in the future, for example, if you have to spend more than 5000 at one time, you can't use cash, you need to use digital currency. In this way, those who have bribed tens of millions of cash in their families may not want to spend all their money in their lifetime. And their illegal income doesn't go to the society. It's just paper. They still occupy space at home. Once they start to spend money in digital currency, it's easy to find out. That is to say, all our income will be counted. Once they are involved in crimes, it's easy to be caught. At that time, there will be less Telecom fraud, This is the meaning of digital currency

The digital RMB red envelope of 10 million yuan issued by Shenzhen city has brought the development of e-money back to the people's vision

in fact, since April 2020, small-scale pilot projects of digital RMB have been carried out in Shenzhen, Cheng, Suzhou and xiong'an, and the pilot scale will be expanded to 28 provinces and cities in August 2020

as a socially recognized "super outlet", in addition to the high investment of digital currency related enterprises, its impact on the financial market is also of great research value

as early as 2014, the central bank has concted research layout on digital RMB, and discussed the development framework of digital RMB with major international financial institutions and research institutions in the 2016 digital currency seminar

after six years of development, China has initially developed the "pbctfp blockchain platform" and continuously promoted the pilot activities of digital RMB. It can be predicted that as today's technology and policy outlet, digital RMB will have excellent development prospects and extremely fast development speed in the next few years

Figure 1: Policy Evolution of digital RMB

with the improvement of China's national strength, digital RMB provides an opportunity to establish a "new system of RMB cross border settlement", which can promote RMB payment activities around the world and realize the internationalization of RMB

On March 28, the central bank held a national teleconference on monetary gold and silver work in 2018. Fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, pointed out that we should further strengthen reform and innovation and solidly promote the research and development of digital currency of the people's Bank of China. We should strictly strengthen internal management and external supervision, attach great importance to and effectively strengthen the quality control of RMB, carry out large amount cash management, build a cash clearing enterprise supervision system in accordance with the law, carry out the rectification and clean-up of all kinds of virtual currencies, and strive to build a "five in one" anti-counterfeit currency working mechanism

from the perspective of global digital currency regulatory practice, China has adopted a more stringent regulatory approach, but it does not mean that China can stay out of the global financial innovation wave. In the future, China should actively participate in the global governance of digital currency and enhance its influence and voice in the development of digital currency and regulatory rules

digital Renminbi triggered hot debate, what impact will Alipay pay? Recently, digital currency has become a hot topic, although it is not a very new thing. But for many people, digital currency is something we can often mention. Whether buying goods or paying, the first thing we think about is WeChat payment or Alipay payment. Nowadays, the phenomenon of cash payment or bank card payment has been graally reced. This also makes us usually just need to take a mobile phone to go out to complete a series of transactions, without carrying too much cash or bank cards. Therefore, the arrival of digital money has made Alipay pay and WeChat pay more heat. People also rely more on these two ways of payment{ The arrival of the era of RRRRR}
