A recent survey conducted by the European Central Bank has found that both citizens and professionals consider privacy the most important feature of a CBDC. We show how a central bank could issue a CBDC that would be easily scalable and allow the preservation of a key feature of physical cash: transaction privacy. At the same time the proposed design would meet regulatory requirements and thus offer an appropriate balance between privacy and legal compliance. 10 </p> 11 <h4>Download links</h4> 12 <ul> 13 <li><a href="https://www.suerf.org/docx/f_0ea841a00684473af118beb024287ce3_27227_suerf.pdf">Official PDF</a></li> 14 <li><a href="/papers/suerf2021en.pdf">Local mirror of the PDF (English)</a></li> 15 <li><a href="https://grothoff.org/christian/suerf.bib">BibTeX file</a></li> 16 </ul> 17 18 {% endblock body_content %}
