The pilot cities of digital finance continued to accelerate the digital transformation of RMB
On March 31, the people's Bank of China held a symposium on the pilot work of digital RMB research and development, which determined to add six cities, including Tianjin, Chongqing and Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, to the existing pilot areas. Up to now, there have been 23 digital RMB pilot cities. Taking Guangzhou as an example, many business districts and scenic spots in the urban area have been put into use and innovatively applied to talent introduction subsidies. This pilot expansion is another major progress following the 14th five year plan for the development of financial standardization jointly issued by the people's Bank of China and other four departments on February 8. It is deeply in line with the development plan of steadily promoting the development of legal digital currency standard and leading the construction of digital ecology in the financial industry. We believe that with the continuous expansion of the pilot scope and the gradual accumulation of experience feedback, digital RMB is expected to move from test operation to landing application, and promote the digital transformation of finance from the perspective of infrastructure innovation.
The construction of digital currency ecology drives the upgrading of software and hardware, which is expected to create 10 billion market space
In terms of software upgrading, commercial banks, as one of the main players of digital RMB operation, deeply participate in the circulation and settlement of digital currencies. In order to achieve comprehensive support for the digital RMB system, they need to carry out all-round upgrading of software and systems including front desk (Digital RMB APP), middle desk (front-end system, user center, service center and management center) and back office (Accounting and clearing). In terms of hardware deployment, commercial banks need to transform ATM machines to adapt to different bank cards and wallets, interface with major bank digital money systems and ATM equipment, and support QR code and NFC interaction functions. In addition, smart teller machines, hard wallets and other facilities also need to be upgraded accordingly. According to the calculation, the overall market scale created by the software and hardware upgrading brought by the digital RMB ecological construction is expected to reach 75.23 billion yuan, which will bring considerable business increment to upstream enterprises.
