China central bank, People Bank of China (PBOC), is nearly ready to issue its own sovereign digital currency. Its deputy directors of the payment department said that the institutions’ virtual currency is almost ready, according to Reuters. The move is in line with earlier public statements made by China earlier. China officials say that they plan to release China’s Central Bank digital currency by August 2019.

Digital Currency Project

Researchers at the bank have been working on the currency for five years. It has formed a research team in 2014. By this project, aim to cut the circulating traditional paper money. Besides, they want to boost policymakers’ control of the money supply.

Based on a report, there are at least 40 central banks across the world looking for the same opportunity. One of them is Sweden’s Riksbank.

Thus, they would instead maintain a more neutral stance on which technology it decides to use.
