Abstract

The creation CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) are ongoing worldwide. CBDCs are needed to modernize a national network of finance, and central banks have taken different approaches to design and research. A digital currency that the central bank created would need to support quicker and less expensive payments while maintaining customer privacy. Despite Malaysia's lack of a privacy laws, it is crucial to preserve consumer privacy. The privacy rights of customers would need to be protected, but a digital ringgit would also need to provide the openness required to discourage illegal behaviour. A large growth of BNM's function in the financial system and the economy shouldn't be aided by a digital ringgit. The private sector would provide accounts or digital wallets under a bank intermediation to simplify the administration of a digital ringgit payment system. These already established potential middlemen will provide services on a free market for digital ringgit.
