Speech Title

Central Bank Digital Currencies: challenges and opportunities

央行数字货币:挑战与机遇

Abstract

As countries around the world compete to launch initiatives that could potentially lead to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), it is worth investigating the opportunities CBDCs may offer and the challenges they could face. Given the nature of CBDCs, executing monetary policy would be much more efficient for central banks, retail users may also have better consumer experience in the age of digital economy. However, adoption of CBDC on large scale will reduce commercial banks’ balance sheets, thus leads to the question of potential financial instability. The role of central banks in the digital infrastructure, privacy and security issues are also called in to question.
