China CBDC Would Only Be For Domestic Use After Launch
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Zhou Xiaochuan, a former Governor of the Peoples Bank of China, has said that the China CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) would be utilized locally instead of a global use immediately after the currency goes public.

According to the former PBOC governor, international use of the China CBDC would lead to global issues and affect monetary policy independence. Xiaochuan said this while speaking at the Boao Forum in China, a four-day annual international conference. The former governor also spoke on the potential of criminals beginning to use the currency and how the PBOC can forestall such from happening.

The Digital yuan has been subject to test in the past few months as pilot programs are running across different parts of the country. The country, however, has not given a precise date when the currency would launch. The bank’s deputy governor, Li Bo, spoke about increasing areas the China CBDC is being tested. The bank also may be looking at testing the CBDC for cross-border payment as the Winter Olympics scheduled for 2022 looms. According to Li Bo, the currency would be offered as a payment means for local and foreign users, including athletes.
