+<h1>2021-2: &quot;How to issue a Central Bank Digital Currency&quot; 
published</h1>
+<p>
+We are happy to announce the publication of our paper on &quot;How to Issue a 
Central Bank Digital Currency&quot;
+by the <a href="https://snb.ch/";>Swiss National Bank</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+With the emergence of Bitcoin and recently proposed stablecoins from BigTechs, 
such as
+Diem (formerly Libra), central banks face a choice of either leaving the field 
to private actors
+or offering their own digital alternative to physical cash. We do not address 
whether a central
+bank should issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Instead, we 
demonstrate how a
+central bank could do so, if desired or needed. We propose a token-based 
system without
+distributed ledger technology and show how earlier-deployed, software-only 
electronic cash
+can be improved upon to preserve transaction privacy, meet regulatory 
requirements in a
+compelling way, and offer a level of quantum-resistant protection against 
systemic privacy
+risk. Neither monetary policy nor financial stability would be materially 
affected because our
+CBDC would replicate physical cash rather than bank deposits.
