An effective central bank digital currency must be able to improve current monetary policy for tackling the problems of unemployment, inflation, and economic growth during economic crises. These issues, among others, are the fundamentals of a central banker’s decision-making, and cryptocurrency brings new challenges to the central banking system. By the end of the course, students should have a solid understanding of these policy-making issues, including the new challenges from the digital world, and the ability to use an economic way of thinking to explain these issues with confidence to others.
