RBI will implement digital currency on an experimental basis

-

Mumbai: The Reserve Bank will release its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in phases. RBI Deputy Governor T Ravi Shankar said the RBI would proceed at a slower pace after examining how it could hamper the performance of banks in raising deposits and its possible impact on monetary policy formulation.

It is likely to be used on an experimental basis in the wholesale and retail segments soon, he said while addressing an online seminar on the issue. Retail digital currency can be used by the general public and companies, while wholesale digital currency is used by financial institutions.

The Reserve Bank has been considering introducing its own digital currency for some time now to counter the risks posed by cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.

The Reserve Bank is currently working on a phased implementation strategy and examining the scope of its use. It will be used at the earliest where there is a possibility of no or little disturbance.

The Reserve Bank has been exploring the pros and cons of introducing its digital currency for some time. The RBI will also study various countries in the world where such digital currencies are in the process of being implemented, the deputy governor added.

The Reserve Bank has been considering introducing CBDC for the last few years following the advent of private virtual currencies like Bitcoin. These private currencies have their own advantages but they do not have the backing of the government of any country and therefore they do not follow a proper judiciary.

He also claimed that the Reserve Bank's digital currency would reduce currency costs for the government and help eliminate the risks posed by virtual private currencies.

This type of currency, known as e-CNY, has already been widely reported in China.

MUMBAI: Brokerage firms and fintech companies have objected to market regulator SEBI's discussion paper considering all stock trading orders issued through Application Programming Interface (API) as separate trading, saying it could adversely affect the growth of such trading from India. Algo trading is considered to be an automatic buying-selling system based on algorithms. SEBI has recently said in a discussion paper that it would create a framework for regulating Algo trading by retail investors. A senior official of a brokerage firm said that monitoring of Algo trading is a need of the hour, but such an attempt could hamper the growth of Sebi Algo trading. He added that if the suggestions made in the SEBI discussion paper were implemented, it would be difficult for brokers to make the API available.
