Digital fiat currencies are the digital forms of a sovereign currency that is backed by the central bank.
Unlike Bitcoin or other digital money issued by the private sector, the digital fiat currency has the same legal status as the Chinese yuan, the only fiat currency issued by the People's Bank of China.
There is no timetable for the introduction of the currency, but once introduced, China is likely to become the first country that would deploy a digital fiat currency....
The rapid development of the electronic payment sector and thriving private digital currencies have made it imperative for China's central bank to move quickly in digital finance.
Looking ahead, deploying the digital fiat currency is expected to be smarter and more intelligent compared to the payment providers using existing currencies, such as Alipay, according to Yao.Ecns.cn
