CBDC Digital Yuan Deployment To Massively Impact Cross-Border Policy Regulators' Decisions

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has been a global front-runner in its creation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) through the digital yuan's inception.

Also known as the e-CNY, the PBOC recently released the pilot version of its e-CNY app in China's Apple and Android app stores. The release of this app to selected users is particularly interesting given the app's current "research and development pilot phase", as indicated in a notice displayed when the app is downloaded. 

Nevertheless, the timing of this app release gives the world excellent insight into China's e-CNY ambitions, particularly with the 2022 Winter Olympics and the Chinese New Year holiday around the corner.
