Expert Perspectives
Xiao Gang on Digital Currency Impact
China's former SEC chairman stated that digital currency won't fundamentally disrupt monetary issuance:
- Digital currency primarily replaces cash (M0) for retail payments
- Maintains sovereign currency characteristics without replacing M1/M2
- Follows two-tier issuance structure (central bank → commercial banks → consumers)
- Adheres to existing cash management regulations
Institutional Analysis
- CITIC Securities: Unlikely to see significant monetary policy tightening this year despite PPI growth
Goldman Sachs: Predicts additional $4 trillion U.S. stimulus package potentially funded by:
- Corporate tax increases (21% → 28%)
- Higher foreign income tax rates
- Minimum corporate tax implementation
