Summary
Issuing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) is being considered by many central banks around the world. This chapter advocates the introduction of an Asian digital common currency (ADCC) as a multilateral synthetic currency coexisting with local currencies of the region. Using DLT, the issuance of ADCC is relatively simple. We need an international organisation to support central banks. One of the main roles of the organisation would be to issue ADCC bonds. The organisation would receive government bonds from central banks and issue ADCC denominated bonds backed by the government bonds as assets. Another role of the organisation would be to provide ADCC data to central banks. This process would hence be similar to how central banks today receive physical banknotes manufactured at the printing bureau. The standardisation and interoperability should be managed by the organisation. The ADCC would then be issued by the central bank of each country as its liability backed by the ADCC denominated bonds because ADCC is not the legal tender of each central bank and distributed to the national economies through commercial banks to be used for cross-border payments as well. The ADCC would also contribute to the development of Asian financial markets.
