CBDC: Revolutionizing the Financial System or Disrupting It?

CBDC: Revolutionizing the Financial System or Disrupting It?



Digital currency issued by central banks, also known as central bank digital currency (CBDC), is a type of digital currency that is issued and backed by a central bank, such as the Federal Reserve in the United States or the Bank of England in the United Kingdom. CBDCs are designed to be an electronic version of fiat money, which is the traditional paper currency that is issued and backed by a central bank. CBDCs are typically issued and managed using distributed ledger technology, such as blockchain, and can be used for a variety of purposes, including making payments, transferring money, and storing value. CBDCs are an emerging area of study and development, and there are currently a number of central banks around the world exploring the potential uses and benefits of CBDCs.

Central bank digital currency (CBDC) has the potential to revolutionize the way that we think about and use money. As an electronic version of fiat currency, CBDC has the potential to make financial transactions faster, cheaper, and more efficient. However, the introduction of CBDC also raises a number of challenges, problems, and obstacles that need to be carefully considered.

One potential challenge of CBDC is the impact it could have on the financial system. The traditional financial system is built around banks, which act as intermediaries between borrowers and lenders. CBDC could potentially disrupt this system by allowing individuals and businesses to directly access central bank funds, bypassing traditional banks. This could lead to a reduction in the role of banks in the financial system, which could have unintended consequences on the stability and operation of the financial system.

Another potential problem with CBDC is the potential for increased surveillance and control by governments. As CBDC is issued and backed by central banks, governments could potentially use it to track and monitor the financial transactions of individuals and businesses. This could raise concerns about privacy and the potential for abuses of power by governments.

CBDC could also pose challenges for the economy. The introduction of CBDC could potentially lead to changes in the way that money is created and destroyed, which could impact the supply of money and the level of inflation in the economy. Additionally, the use of CBDC could potentially lead to changes in the way that monetary policy is conducted, which could have unintended consequences on the stability and operation of the economy.

Finally, CBDC could also have global implications. The adoption of CBDC could potentially lead to changes in the way that international transactions are conducted, which could impact the global economy and the balance of economic power between different countries.

Overall, while CBDC has the potential to bring many benefits, it also poses a number of challenges, problems, and obstacles that need to be carefully considered. It is important that these issues are carefully studied and addressed in order to ensure that the introduction of CBDC is successful and benefits society, the financial system, the economy, and the world.

Free land for a better Afghanistan, decreased wages, increased exports

The publisher wants to recommend a solution to check the increased imports of food items and initiate import substitutions of agriculture products. Based on marcantalist view, if land is freely distributed to people for cultivation it will increase agriculture products and decrease spending on food, which consists almost 44% of household spending in CPI, that will decrease wages as a result. Based on Islamic law as well, if any land is not cultivated for three consecutive years, the land should be given to any other person who does cultivate it for multiple years. The puplisher wants to recommend that land should be distributed among certain categories of citizens, such as families with many children, disabled persons and people whose profession includes hard physical labor to receive 1 hectare (2.47 acres) of free land from the state to build a home and start a farm for personal use or a commercial agricultural enterprise. At the same time, some categories of citizens, such as con...

Factors Affecting Employee’s Performance: A Case of Kabul Based Government Employees

Abstract Several studies are available on the impact of factors affecting employee performance; however, the performance of employees in the government sector of Afghanistan has largely been ignored.

The study found a positive and significant impact of employee participation, job involvement and employee relations on the dependent variable (Employee Performance). This paper will h...
