Book Synopsis Designing Central Bank Digital Currencies by : Mr.Itai Agur
Download or read book Designing Central Bank Digital Currencies written by Mr.Itai Agur and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the optimal design of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in an environment where agents sort into cash, CBDC and bank deposits according to their preferences over anonymity and security; and where network effects make the convenience of payment instruments dependent on the number of their users. CBDC can be designed with attributes similar to cash or deposits, and can be interest-bearing: a CBDC that closely competes with deposits depresses bank credit and output, while a cash-like CBDC may lead to the disappearance of cash. Then, the optimal CBDC design trades off bank intermediation against the social value of maintaining diverse payment instruments. When network effects matter, an interest-bearing CBDC alleviates the central bank's tradeoff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CBDCs also give rise, however, to a host of challenging technical goals and design questions that are qualitatively and quantitatively different from those in existing government and consumer payment systems. A well-functioning CBDC will require an extremely resilient, secure, and performant new infrastructure, with the ability to onboard, authenticate, and support users on massive scale. It will necessitate an architecture simple enough to support modular design and rigorous security analysis, but flexible enough to accommodate current and future functional requirements and use cases. A CBDC will also in some way need to address an innate tension between privacy and transparency, protecting user data from abuse while selectively permitting data mining for end-user services, policymakers, and law enforcement investigations and interventions.
Book Synopsis Capital Flow Management Measures in the Digital Age (2) by : Mr. Dong He
Download or read book Capital Flow Management Measures in the Digital Age (2) written by Mr. Dong He and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fintech note looks at how capital flow measures (CFMs) could be implemented with central bank digital currency (CBDC), and what benefits, risks and complexities could arise. There are several implications of the analysis. First, CBDC ecosystems should generally be designed such that they can accommodate the introduction of CFMs. Second, thanks to the programmability of the payment infrastructure given by the new digital technologies, certain CFMs could likely be implemented more efficiently and effectively with CBDC compared to the traditional system. Third, implementing CFMs requires central banks to collaborate on practices and standards. Finally, CFMs on CBDC need to operate alongside traditional CFMs.

In this paper, we enumerate the fundamental technical design challenges facing CBDC designers, with a particular focus on performance, privacy, and security. Through a survey of relevant academic and industry research and deployed systems, we discuss the state of the art in technologies that can address the challenges involved in successful CBDC deployment. We also present a vision of the rich range of functionalities and use cases that a well-designed CBDC platform could ultimately offer users.

Book Synopsis Drivers of CBDC Design Choices Among Central Banks: an Empirical Approach by : Nadav Blanck
Download or read book Drivers of CBDC Design Choices Among Central Banks: an Empirical Approach written by Nadav Blanck and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central bank digital currencies (CDBC) represent a promising new development for the global monetary system. They are based on blockchain technology, created by cryptocurrencies, which increases the speed, efficiency, and security of transactions. For its many benefits, this technology can make the monetary system more inclusive for smaller financial intermediaries, as well as people with no bank account. It can also increase the revenues of central banks from the process of money creation, and tighten their control over the money supply in times of crisis. In order to reap their benefits, a CBDC design must be chosen. This paper empirically tests the reasons behind CBDC design choices by central banks, and the drivers for their development, by looking at the financial and political circumstances of the countries developing it. Using the OLS method, I was able to discover the central banks’ true preference for developing central bank digital currencies. I found that a certain design of CBDC is more likely to be developed based on the number of commercial bank branches countries have per capita, the size of their shadow economy, the number of export/import partners they have, and their use of Quantitative Easing as a monetary policy tool. This paper also finds a variation in CBDC project progress, based on the development level of these countries, reflected in different CBDC design choices. In addition, the paper was able to confirm that central banks pursue the development of CBDCs from the theoretical benefits, highlighted in the literature, of payment speed and efficiency, the use of new monetary policy tools and more efficient transmission of existing ones, and increased regulation coupled with decreased size of the informal economy.
Book Synopsis Central Bank Digital Currency Data Use and Privacy Protection by : Mr. Kieran P Murphy
Download or read book Central Bank Digital Currency Data Use and Privacy Protection written by Mr. Kieran P Murphy and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2024-08-30 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This note offers a framework to help countries navigate, as well as tools to help them manage, the trade-offs between CBDC data use and privacy protection. It addresses retail CBDC, as data access and privacy-preserving considerations in a wholesale environment are similar to those of the traditional RTGS systems. It emphasizes the role of institutional arrangements, data collection, access and storage policies, design choices, and technological solutions. At a given level of preference for privacy, central banks can facilitate better use of CBDC data through robust transparency and accountability arrangements, sound policies, and judicious adoption of privacy-by-design approaches including the use of privacy-enhancing technologies.
Book Synopsis How Should Central Banks Explore Central Bank Digital Currency? by : Gabriel Soderberg
Download or read book How Should Central Banks Explore Central Bank Digital Currency? written by Gabriel Soderberg and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2023-09-08 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digitalization of the economy provides both challenges and opportunities. Central banks should ensure that they have the capacity to continue to meet their policy objectives in the digital age. It is in this context that central bank digital currency (CBDC) should be evaluated. If designed appropriately, CBDCs could allow central banks to modernize payment systems and future-proof central bank money as the pace and shape of digitalization continues to evolve. However, the decision to proceed with CBDC exploration and an eventual launch would need to be jurisdiction specific, depending on the degree of digitalization of the economy, the legal and regulatory frameworks, and the central bank’s internal capacity. This paper proposes a dynamic decision-making framework under which the central bank can make decisions under uncertainty. A phased and iterative approach could allow central banks to adjust the pace, scale, and scope of their CBDC projects as the domestic and international environment changes.

Book Synopsis The Rise of Digital Money by : Mr.Tobias Adrian
Download or read book The Rise of Digital Money written by Mr.Tobias Adrian and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper marks the launch of a new IMF series, Fintech Notes. Building on years of IMF staff work, it will explore pressing topics in the digital economy and be issued periodically. The series will carry work by IMF staff and will seek to provide insight into the intersection of technology and the global economy. The Rise of Digital Money analyses how technology companies are stepping up competition to large banks and credit card companies. Digital forms of money are increasingly in the wallets of consumers as well as in the minds of policymakers. Cash and bank deposits are battling with so-called e-money, electronically stored monetary value denominated in, and pegged to, a currency like the euro or the dollar. This paper identifies the benefits and risks and highlights regulatory issues that are likely to emerge with a broader adoption of stablecoins. The paper also highlights the risks associated with e-money: potential creation of new monopolies; threats to weaker currencies; concerns about consumer protection and financial stability; and the risk of fostering illegal activities, among others.
Book Synopsis Casting Light on Central Bank Digital Currencies by : Mr.Tommaso Mancini Griffoli
Download or read book Casting Light on Central Bank Digital Currencies written by Mr.Tommaso Mancini Griffoli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digitalization is reshaping economic activity, shrinking the role of cash, and spurring new digital forms of money. Central banks have been pondering wheter and how to adapt. One possibility is central bank digital currency (CBDC)-- a widely accessible digital form of fiat money that could be legal tender. This discussion note proposes a conceptual framework to assess the case for CBDC adoption from the perspective of users and central banks. It discusses possible CBDC designs, and explores potential benefits and costs, with a focus on the impact on monetary policy, financial stability, and integrity. This note also surveys research and pilot studies on CBDC by central banks around the world.
Book Synopsis IMF Approach to Central Bank Digital Currency Capacity Development by : International Monetary
Download or read book IMF Approach to Central Bank Digital Currency Capacity Development written by International Monetary and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global central banking community is actively exploring Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which may have a fundamental impact on both domestic and international economic and financial stability. Over 40 countries have approached the IMF to request assistance through CBDC capacity development (CD). Current IMF CBDC CD efforts have focused on facilitating peer learning and developing analytical underpinnings for staff advice to member countries. CD missions have aimed at helping country authorities answer questions about how to think about CBDCs. With more available country experiments and empirical evidence, IMF CD will evolve to provide increased value-added advice more tailored to country circumstances and more solidly anchored in empirical and analytical work, and strengthen synergies with surveillance. This paper sketches a multi-year strategy to address frequently asked questions related to CBDC and outlines the process for developing a CBDC Handbook which will document emerging lessons, analytical findings, and policy views. The paper (1) explains the IMF’s approach to CBDC CD; (2) summarizes member countries’ emerging questions and challenges regarding CBDC; and (3) introduces the CBDC Handbook by motivating its scope and elucidating its governance structure.
Book Synopsis Digital Currencies and Energy Consumption by : Mr. Itai Agur
Download or read book Digital Currencies and Energy Consumption written by Mr. Itai Agur and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether in crypto assets or in CBDCs, design choices can make an important difference to the energy consumption of digital currencies. This paper establishes the main components and technological options that determine the energy profile of digital currencies. It draws on academic and industry estimates to compare digital currencies to each other and to existing payment systems and derives implications for the design of environmentally friendly CBDCs. For distributed ledger technologies, the key factors affecting energy consumption are the ability to control participation and the consensus algorithm. While crypto assets like Bitcoin are wasteful in terms of resources, other designs could be more energy efficient than existing payment systems.

Book Synopsis Legal Aspects of Central Bank Digital Currency: Central Bank and Monetary Law Considerations by : Wouter Bossu
Download or read book Legal Aspects of Central Bank Digital Currency: Central Bank and Monetary Law Considerations written by Wouter Bossu and published by INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the legal foundations of central bank digital currency (CBDC) under central bank and monetary law. Absent strong legal foundations, the issuance of CBDC poses legal, financial and reputational risks for central banks. While the appropriate design of the legal framework will up to a degree depend on the design features of the CBDC, some general conclusions can be made. First, most central bank laws do not currently authorize the issuance of CBDC to the general public. Second, from a monetary law perspective, it is not evident that “currency” status can be attributed to CBDC. While the central bank law issue can be solved through rather straithforward law reform, the monetary law issue poses fundmental legal policy challenges.
