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
the DCEP issued by the central bank is a digital currency, which is very similar to Alipay and WeChat payment. But it is different from Alipay and WeChat, because it is more like paper money, and the third party can not get the information from both sides of the transaction. It is anonymous and centralization, and the endorsement of the state can be assured.
what is the use of central bank digital currency
from the perspective of the central bank, if the central bank wants to put in funds, it doesn't need these scientific and technological means to trigger conditions, and it could have done it
for users, they have one more option when paying. Users only need to download the central bank's digital currency wallet app, and then associate with their existing bank accounts to exchange the previous banknotes into the corresponding digital currency
for the current mobile payment, users are still accustomed to using Alipay and WeChat to pay. But how to say? Personally, Alipay was originally a professional payment software, but after all these years of development, the Alipay interface is extremely complex, and the user experience is not very friendly.
as for wechat payment, wechat started from social networking at first, and has evolved from professional social software to comprehensive software in recent years. To put it plainly, whether it is Alipay or WeChat, it seems that it has deviated from its original intention. This may bring opportunities to the central bank's digital currency
when will central bank digital currency become popular
according to the bank, considering that the early digital RMB is only limited to the pilot, it will not be issued in large quantities and promoted comprehensively in the short term, and the speed of currency circulation will also maintain a normal level
many people say that digital money has no effect on Alipay. I beg to differ. As Ma Yun said, sometimes it's just a document that beats you. What is the impact of the central bank's digital currency on Alipay? Let's wait and see.
what we call DC / EP is the Chinese version of the central bank's digital currency, translated as "digital currency and electronic payment instruments"
the center for International Settlements (BIS) and the Committee on payment and market infrastructure (CPMI), two authoritative international organizations, jointly concted two questionnaires on more than 60 central banks in 2018 and 2019. The content of the questionnaire includes the work progress of central banks on digital currency, the motivation of studying digital currency and the possibility of issuing digital currency. 70% of central banks said they are (or will be) involved in the research of digital currency

Zhou Xiaochuan pointed out that as legal tender, digital currency must be issued by the central bank. The issue, circulation and transaction of digital currency should follow the idea of integration of traditional currency and digital currency, and implement the same principle of management. That is to say, q-coin and the like are definitely not good
as for whether to use blockchain technology to create digital currency. Zhou Xiaochuan said that the blockchain technology is an optional technology, but so far, the blockchain still occupies too many resources. Whether it is computing resources or storage resources, it can't cope with the current transaction scale, and whether it can be solved in the future depends on it. Zhou Xiaochuan said that in addition to blockchain technology, the digital currency research team of the people's Bank of China has also concted in-depth research on other related technologies involved in digital currency, such as mobile payment, trusted and controllable cloud computing, cryptographic algorithm, security chip, etc
in addition, Zhou Xiaochuan also mentioned that there is a lot of discussion about "51% attack" (assuming that indivials have 51% of the computing speed of the whole network, they can realize double payment, reverse transactions, paralyze the whole network, and completely lose the transfer function). More specifically, compared with the special currency, bitcoin does not need the central bank. Zhou Xiaochuan mentioned that for the digital currency controlled by the central bank, a series of technical means, mechanism design and laws and regulations will be adopted to ensure the security of the digital currency operation system, which is different from the design idea of bitcoin from the beginning
as for the digital currency timetable, Zhou Xiaochuan said that there is no established timetable. The relationship between digital currency and cash will be parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time. For reference.
It is not currently available
at present, the Central Bank of China has not issued and approved the digital currency of issuers and investors
However, at the beginning of the year, the central bank held a seminar on digital currency, at which it made it clear that it was necessary to issue digital currency as soon as possible, and the central bank put the issue of digital currency on the agendahowever, so far, the central bank has not issued any digital currency, and Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor of the central bank, said that the time is not ripe to issue digital currency. Moreover, the digital currency issued by the central bank is different from bitcoin, Ruitai, Laite and other digital cryptocurrencies, and the digital currency issued by the central bank is not decentralized
when the central bank issues digital currency, it needs to establish a basic digital currency system. In this system, the central bank is in charge of the digital currency issuing bank, the commercial bank is in charge of the bank, and the public and indivials hold digital wallets. This is not much different from the existing monetary system in essence, but the managed currency is changed from paper money to digital cryptocurrency
in terms of issuing mechanism, there are two modes:
one is the traditional mode of "central bank commercial bank", that is, the central bank issues digital currency from the issuing bank of the central bank to the Bank of the commercial bank. When an indivial withdraws money from the commercial bank, the digital currency is transferred from the commercial bank to the personal digital wallet
another mode is the "central bank public" mode, that is, the central bank can directly issue digital currency from the currency issuing bank to the digital wallet of the public and indivials. In essence, no matter which issuing mode, money is ultimately held by the public, which is the debt of the central bank to the public
we are ready to discover digital currency, but it is still in the planning and brewing stage, and there is no formal issue
this project will upgrade the existing currency discovery mechanism, and each unit of currency is given its own special identification mechanism
in addition, the bank account, Zhang Sanhui gives you 100, Li Sihui gives you 100, under the current system, there is no essential difference between the two 100, For you, for the system, the bank account is the same bookkeeping symbol, but under the digital currency mechanism, the system can correctly identify which unit currency, that is, the 200 yuan, is given by Zhang San and which by Li Si. Note that this is in the electronic system, not the actual paper currency, which is equivalent to giving DNA to each unit currency
According to reports, since 2014, the people's Bank of China has set up a special research team, and further enriched its strength in early 2015 to conct in-depth research on digital currency issuance and business operation framework, key technologies of digital currency, and digital currency issuance and circulation environment
At the same time, digital currency is born in the existing financial system, which is bound to be affected by the existing payment system and information technology. Theoretically speaking, the payment system mainly deals with the demand deposit in the broad money, while the digital currency mainly belongs to the category of cashArticle source: bit110 network
According to reports, the world's major central banks are focusing on digital currency. Some countries have clearly put forward the plan of issuing legal digital currency. For example, the central banks of Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Russia and other countries have already announced the launch of digital currency research
different from the centralized delivery of traditional electronic payment instruments, the fund transfer of electronic payment instruments must be completed through the account, which adopts the account tight coupling mode, while the central bank's digital currency should be based on the account loose coupling mode, so that the transaction link's dependence on the account is greatly reced, and the central bank's digital currency holders can directly apply it to various scenarios, It is concive to the circulation and internationalization of RMB
According to the experts, digital currency was born in the existing financial system and will inevitably be affected by the existing payment system and information technology. Theoretically speaking, the payment system mainly deals with the demand deposit part of the broad money, while digital currency mainly belongs to the category of cash source: bit110
