This restriction is embedded in the EU\u2019s 2009 directive on <a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2020\/09\/22\/how-safe-is-e-money\/\">electronic money institutions<\/a>, it said.<\/p>\n<p>In a further 16 percent of countries, the law regarding the issuance of CBDC was unclear, said the IMF, while only in 23 percent of countries does the legal framework give an apparent green light to this new form of money.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6041\" src=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/imf-chart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"319\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/imf-chart.jpg 717w, https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/imf-chart-264x300.jpg 264w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>IMF chart<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny money issuance is a form of debt for the central bank, so it must have a solid basis to avoid legal, financial and reputational risks for the institutions,\u201d the IMF said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUltimately, it is about ensuring that a significant and potentially contentious innovation is in line with a central bank\u2019s mandate. Otherwise, the door is opened to potential political and legal challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A further challenge for CBDC is to achieve \u2018legal tender\u2019 status, said the IMF authors.<\/p>\n<p>Legal tender\u2014meaning that creditors cannot refuse that form of money in payment of a debt\u2014is a prerequisite for CBDC to obtain the status of currency, the IMF said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLegal tender status is usually only given to means of payment that can be easily received and used by the majority of the population,\u201d the IMF said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why banknotes and coins are the most common form of currency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here, there are formidable infrastructure requirements to overcome for CBDCs to achieve equivalent status to traditional currency, said the IMF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo use digital currencies, digital infrastructure\u2014laptops, smartphones, connectivity\u2014must first be in place. But governments cannot impose on their citizens to have it, so granting legal tender status to a central bank digital instrument might be challenging,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe digital space might become \u2018populated\u2019 by private alternatives\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, governments and central banks are caught in a bind when it comes to the introduction of CBDC, the IMF suggested: if they launch it without proper legal foundations they incur significant risks, but if they delay launching it, other unregulated private sector alternatives might fill the gap.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the absence of a clear response, the monetary system will struggle to adopt CBDC widely and the digital space might become \u2018populated\u2019 by private alternatives,\u201d the authors of the IMF paper said.<\/p>\n<p>Some say that <a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2020\/11\/24\/a-money-revolution-is-going-on\/\">private sector &#8216;cryptodollars&#8217; may already be performing the role of digital substitutes for state money<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>CBDCs raise a host of other thorny legal questions, the IMF went on in its new paper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe creation of CBDCs will also raise legal issues in many other areas, including tax, property, contracts, and insolvency laws, payments systems, privacy and data protection and, most fundamentally, preventing money laundering and terrorism financing,\u201d the IMF said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they are to be \u2018the next milestone in the evolution of money\u2019, CBDCs need robust legal foundations that ensure smooth integration to the financial system, credibility and broad acceptance by countries\u2019 citizens and economic agents,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/du6eTr\">Sign up here<\/a> for the New Money Review newsletter<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/blubrry.com\/newmoneyreview\/\">Click here<\/a> for a full list of episodes of the New Money Review podcast: the future of money in 30 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many observers argue that the imminent arrival of central bank digital currency (CBDC) could herald the biggest shake-up to the world\u2019s monetary system for nearly a century.
