https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/02/staff-discussion-paper-2023-4/
We review the nascent but fast-growing literature on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), focusing on their potential impacts on private banks. We evaluate these impacts in three areas of traditional banking: payments, lending and liquidity and maturity transformation. We also take a broader look at CBDCs and highlight two promising directions for future research.2023-02-10T07:41:01+00:00enCentral Bank Digital Currencies and Banking: Literature Review and New Questions2023-02-10Central bank researchDigital currencies and fintechFinancial institutionsFinancial stabilityStaff Discussion Paper 2023-4https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/sdp2023-4.pdfCentral Bank Digital Currencies and Banking: Literature Review and New QuestionsJames ChapmanJonathan ChiuMohammad DavoodalhosseiniJanet Hua JiangFrancisco RivadeneyraYu ZhuFebruary 2023EE5E50E58GG0G00LL0L00Improving the Efficiency of Payments Systems Using Quantum Computing

We develop an algorithm and run it on a hybrid quantum annealing solver to find an ordering of payments that reduces the amount of system liquidity necessary without substantially increasing payment delays.2022-12-22T14:14:19+00:00enImproving the Efficiency of Payments Systems Using Quantum Computing2022-12-22Digital currencies and fintechFinancial institutionsFinancial servicesFinancial system regulation and policiesPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2022-53https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/swp2022-53.pdfImproving the Efficiency of Payments Systems Using Quantum ComputingChristopher McMahonDonald McGillivrayAjit DesaiFrancisco RivadeneyraJean-Paul LamThomas LoDanica MarsdenVladimir SkavyshDecember 2022CC6C61C63DD8D83EE4E42E5E58Payment Coordination and Liquidity Efficiency in the New Canadian Wholesale Payments System

We study the impact of the Bank of Canada’s choice of settlement mechanism in Lynx on participant behaviors, liquidity usage, payment delays and the overall operational efficiency of the new system.2022-02-04T10:04:08+00:00enPayment Coordination and Liquidity Efficiency in the New Canadian Wholesale Payments System2022-02-04Payment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Discussion Paper 2022-3https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/sdp2022-3.pdfPayment Coordination and Liquidity Efficiency in the New Canadian Wholesale Payments SystemFrancisco RivadeneyraNellie ZhangFebruary 2022CC5EE4E42E5E58The Positive Case for a CBDC
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/07/staff-discussion-paper-2021-11/
We discuss the competition and innovation arguments for issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC). A CBDC could be an effective competition policy tool for payments. A CBDC could also support the vibrancy of the digital economy. It could help solve market failures and foster competition and innovation in new digital payments markets.2021-07-20T09:59:49+00:00enThe Positive Case for a CBDC2021-07-20Digital currencies and fintechFinancial institutionsFinancial stabilityStaff Discussion Paper 2021-11https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/sdp2021-11.pdfStaff Discussion Paper 2021-11Andrew UsherEdona ReshidiFrancisco RivadeneyraScott HendryJuly 2021EE4E42E5E58LL4L5Estimating Policy Functions in Payments Systems Using Reinforcement Learning
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/02/staff-working-paper-2021-7/
We demonstrate the ability of reinforcement learning techniques to estimate the best-response functions of banks participating in high-value payments systems—a real-world strategic game of incomplete information.2021-02-01T09:44:50+00:00enEstimating Policy Functions in Payments Systems Using Reinforcement Learning2021-02-01Digital currencies and fintechFinancial institutionsFinancial system regulation and policiesPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2021-7https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/swp2021-7.pdfEstimating Policy Functions in Payments Systems Using Reinforcement LearningPablo S.

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/01/staff-working-paper-2021-6/
Digital currencies store balances in anonymous electronic addresses. This paper analyzes the trade-offs between the safety and convenience of aggregating balances in addresses, electronic wallets and banks.2021-01-29T07:23:53+00:00enEggs in One Basket: Security and Convenience of Digital Currencies2021-01-29Central bank researchDigital currencies and fintechFinancial servicesPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2021-6https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/swp2021-6.pdfEggs in One Basket: Security and Convenience of Digital CurrenciesCharles M.

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/10/staff-analytical-note-2020-21/
An anonymous token-based central bank digital currency (CBDC) would pose certain security risks to users. These risks arise from how balances are aggregated, from their transactional use and from the competition between suppliers of aggregation solutions.2020-10-05T10:33:38+00:00enSecurity and convenience of a central bank digital currency2020-10-05Liquidity Usage and Payment Delay Estimates of the New Canadian High Value Payments System
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/09/staff-discussion-paper-2020-9/
As part of modernizing its core payments infrastructure, Canada will replace the Large Value Transfer System (LVTS) with a new Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system called Lynx. An important question for policy-makers is how Lynx should be designed.2020-09-10T13:09:06+00:00enLiquidity Usage and Payment Delay Estimates of the New Canadian High Value Payments System2020-09-10Financial servicesFinancial system regulation and policiesPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Discussion Paper 2020-9https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/sdp2020-9.pdfLiquidity Usage and Payment Delay Estimates of the New Canadian High Value Payments SystemFrancisco RivadeneyraNellie ZhangSeptember 2020CC5EE4E42E5E58CBDC and Monetary Policy
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/02/staff-analytical-note-2020-4/
Improving the conduct of monetary policy is unlikely to be the main motivation for central banks to issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC). While some argue that a CBDC could allow more complex transfer schemes or the ability to break below the zero lower bound, we find these benefits might be small or difficult to realize in practice.2020-02-25T06:00:30+00:00enCBDC and Monetary Policy2020-02-25Should the Central Bank Issue E-money?
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/12/staff-working-paper-2018-58/
Should a central bank take over the provision of e-money, a circulable electronic liability? We discuss how e-money technology changes the tradeoff between public and private provision, and the tradeoff between e-money and a central bank's existing liabilities like bank notes and reserves.2018-12-13T09:55:56+00:00enShould the Central Bank Issue E-money?2018-12-13Bank notesDigital currencies and fintechFinancial servicesPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2018-58https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/swp2018-58.pdfShould the Central Bank Issue E-money?Charles M.
