Where is the digital renminbi standing next?

　　Fan Yifei, deputy governor of the People's Bank of China, recently wrote an article that the digital renminbi is a legal tender issued by the People's Bank of China in digital form.

The designated operating agency participates in the operation and exchanges to the public. Based on the broad account system, it supports the loose coupling function of bank accounts, which is equivalent to banknotes and coins, has value characteristics and legal compensation, and supports controllable anonymity.

　　Fan Yifei said that the digital renminbi is mainly positioned as cash in circulation (Note: M0), which is a digital form of legal tender.

In recent years, crypto assets such as Bitcoin and global stablecoins have tried to perform their currency functions, and a new round of private currency, foreign currency and legal tender has begun.

In response to this situation, it is necessary for the country to use new technologies to digitize M0 and provide a universal base currency for the development of the digital economy.

　　The advent of the digital renminbi also makes many people worry about whether banknotes will be replaced in the future.

　　"Digital renminbi and other electronic payment methods will not completely replace renminbi cash." According to Dong Ximiao, the chief researcher of China Merchants Finance, China is a large developing country with different levels of regional economic development, uneven financial infrastructure, and uneven users. Diversified habits, cash payment and non-cash payment will coexist for a long time, and the diversified payment needs of users should be respected.

On the one hand, we must continue to develop non-cash payments, improve the modernization level of payments, and improve financial and economic efficiency; on the other hand, we must respect the differentiated needs of the public, and especially meet the preferences of the elderly and other groups for cash payments.

　　Dong Ximiao believes that in the era of digital economy, the issue of "digital divide" deserves attention.

In the epidemic, it was discovered that some elderly people do not use health codes, or even do not have smart phones, and cannot exclude the needs of these people, and they cannot be allowed to become "digital abandoned people."

　　After the pilot in Shenzhen, how will the digital RMB develop next?

Pan Helin, Executive Dean of the Digital Economy Research Institute of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, pointed out that Shenzhen’s red envelopes are a milestone in the implementation of digital renminbi. After this important point in time, more extensive pilots and more standardized two-tier operations will follow. system.

In the next step, digital currency may begin to implement a two-tier operating system in some pilot cities, truly making digital currency an important part of cash.
