Economics - money supply - central banks - public money - digital currency.

The part of the money supply comprising any digital liabilities of the central bank.

For example, any central bank digital currency (CBDC).


CBDC should anchor monetary stability & complement private sector activities
"In a recent presentation by Fabio Panetta (member of the Executive Board of the ECB), at the Annual Congress of the European Economic Association, he noted:
o Digital public money is the monetary anchor in a digital world.
o The importance of safeguarding monetary sovereignty.
o The need to enhance competition and efficiency in payments.


But also the importance that a CBDC was not too successful if it crowds out private sector activity."
