Description of Subtheme:
In the subtheme on digital currency, the focus will be on examining the ramifications for financial stability and bank intermediation, the transmission of monetary policy, financial integrity, and financial inclusion, encompassing national and international considerations.
Digital currencies, especially cryptocurrencies, have been receiving a lot of attention in recent years due to their ability to facilitate decentralized and borderless financial transactions. Researching digital currency is crucial because it can help policymakers make informed decisions and contribute to the development of a more sustainable financial system and economy.
Digital currencies have the potential to contribute positively to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is because they can facilitate financial inclusion, which is a key component of SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). Moreover, digital currencies can enhance transparency and accountability in financial transactions, which is crucial for the attainment of SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions).
To research digital currency effectively, follow a structured approach: define a clear research question, conduct a literature review, select appropriate research methods and participants, collect and analyze data using reliable tools, draw conclusions and make recommendations, and present findings clearly.
