When’s the last time you used cash?
These days, with just a few clicks, almost any kind of transaction can be done via a computer or smartphone. But while some countries have already switched to 100% digital currency, others, like Japan, are firmly attached to bills and coins.
When the gold standard became obsolete, governments and banks shifted to a fiat money system. Now monetary policy makers are saying that it’s time for the digital age.
Jennifer Corbett, Rio Tinto Fellow, Foundation for Australia—Japan Studies and Yusuke Narita, Assistant Professor at Yale University and CEO of Hanjuku-kaso, Inc discuss the restrictions of the current system and the possibilities digital currency offers.

What are the economic advantages of digital currency?
Yusuke Narita:
Among other things, the one big technological constraint in monetary policy today is the hard, lower-bound constraint on the nominal interest rate. That is, the nominal interest rate is bound by around zero due to some weird historical reason.
Why is there this constraint?
The reason is mainly because the fiat money is issued in paper in a physical form. And it’s very hard to break this constraint with paper fiat money. But we can break this restraint if we completely digitalize money and cash.
I think this is one of the real potential disruptions in monetary policy, and once this sort of constraint [is] obsolete, then monetary policy will no longer be obsolete.
What does that it mean for monetary policy to no longer be obsolete?
Narita:
It means you can set any interest rate. Between plus-infinity and minus-infinity. And it opens the door to a whole new possibility or set of options the central bank can take.
Jennifer Corbett:
As long as money—cash money—exists, people can run away from the financial system. If you charge people to have bank accounts, they can stop having bank accounts, and they can just carry cash.
The point that’s being made is that you have to basically do away with cash because that cuts the exit route off. Then everybody is in the financial system. Then you can charge people anything you like to have their bank accounts because they have no choice. Then you become, again, the monopoly issuer of the currency, and there’s nowhere for them to go.
And that’s what we’re talking about. That if you can get to that point, then your policy tools become more numerous because you can fiddle with an interest rate that has a much wider range.
