China and a digital renminbi
China is set to be the first major economy to launch a central bank digital currency. The People’s Bank of China has confirmed it will pilot a digital renminbi in several districts, followed by a wider roll-out in 2022. Mu Changchun, head of the Digital Currency Research Institute at the People’s Bank of China, gives an overview of this pilot programme, discussing the parameters of the experiment and the central bank’s policy objectives.
