We do not address whether a central bank should issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Instead, we demonstrate how a central bank could do so, if desired or needed. We propose a token-based system without distributed ledger technology and show how earlier-deployed, software-only electronic cash can be improved upon to preserve transaction privacy, meet regulatory requirements in a compelling way, and offer a level of quantum-resistant protection against systemic privacy risk. Neither monetary policy nor financial stability would be materially affected because our CBDC would replicate physical cash rather than bank deposits. +</p> +<h4>Download links</h4> +<ul> +<li><a href="https://www.snb.ch/en/mmr/papers/id/working_paper_2021_03">SNB working paper series</a></li> +<li><a href="/papers/cbdc2021en.pdf">Local mirror of the PDF (English)</a></li> +<li><a href="https://grothoff.org/christian/cbdc.bib">BibTeX file</a></li> +</ul> + +{% endblock body_content %} |
