As the popularity of electronic payment on the mainland continues to soar, Beijing is also taking the digitization of legal tender (or central bank issued currency) seriously. On the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Shenzhen as a Special Economic Zone, President Xi Jinping announced his support for the internal pilot testing of digital renminbi, or e-CNY. He also urged further research, development and application of e-CNY, as well as international cooperation.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority said it is discussing the technical pilot testing of the digital yuan, or e-CNY, for cross-border payments with the Digital Currency Institute of the People s Bank of China, the central bank.
Eddie Yue Wai-man, chief executive of the HKMA, said the monetary authority and the PBOC have been making corresponding technical preparations, but there is not yet a timetable for the launch.
As the largest offshore yuan center, Hong Kong has a pool of more than 670 billion yuan ($99.8 billion) although most of it is illiquid.
Renminbi is already in use in Hong Kong, and the status of e-CNY is the same as cash in circulation, said Yue. The digital currency will be an additional payment option for those who need to make cross-border purchases.
