CBDC: Risks and efficiency

Our intern Romana Dršková wrote a bachelor thesis on an innovative and up-to-date topic - Central Bank Digital Currency: risks and efficiency. Her bachelor thesis aimed to analyze and evaluate the possible benefits and risks of central bank digital currency (CBDC) implementation. CBDC is gaining more and more interest from the central banks as well as the broader public. Considering the author‘s findings based on a comparison of academic literature and approaches to the CBDC from different countries, the author believes that if the central banks do not underestimate the risks, CBDC can serve as a powerful and influential monetary and payment tool.
