The Journal of Financial Stability
The Journal of Financial Stability is pleased to announce a Special Issue
on the economic implications of novel financial technologies (FinTech) with
a particular focus on issues related to Central Bank Digital Currencies.
EDITORS: This Special Issue on FinTech/CBDC will be managed by the
following guest editors:
Stijn Claessens, Bank for International Settlements
Will Cong, Cornell University
Kose John, New York University
Fariborz Moshirian, University of New South Wales
Cyn-Young Park, Asian Development Bank
The global financial system is in the middle of a technological revolution,
with the Covid-19 pandemic having further accelerated the pace of digital
change. With new digital technologies and greater connectivity have come
many new entrants and forms of financial services, reshaping the global
financial landscape.
Some of these developments have involved much policy and research effort
devoted to CBDCs, a digital form of central bank money widely available to
the public. While fast and convenient digital payments have been available
from commercial banks and a growing number of FinTech companies for some
time, a CBDC differs from existing digital money because it would be a
liability of the Central Bank, and not of a commercial bank or private
company.
Many major issues still need to be analyzed and explored to gain a better
understanding of the preferred design of CBDCs and their impact and
implications for both banks and non-banks, and how these may differ between
developed and developing countries. Issues include the relation of CBDCs to
the effectiveness of monetary policy, their possible contribution towards
more inclusive financial services, potential risks to the integrity and
stability of national and global financial systems, and the related design
and technological requirements.
TOPICS: We invite submission of theoretical and empirical papers on, but
not limited to, the following topics:
 	Central Bank Digital Currencies (and technological factors to be
considered prior to CBDC inception)
 	The benefits of issuing a CBDC (e.g., as regards to monetary policy, the
efficiency of payments, and financial inclusiveness) and the risks (e.g. to
financial stability, the two-tier banking system)
 	Key considerations of CBDC design, to balance benefits and risks for the
central bank, consumers, markets and institutions (Fundamental principles
and key features that a CBDC design and its supporting infrastructure would
need to demonstrate to meet all competing public policy objectives)
 	Alternative lending technologies/models in FinTech ( including
Decentralized Exchanges, Protocols for Loanable Funds, crowdfunding, ICOs)
 	Financial inclusion and democratization through FinTech Innovations.
 	Regulatory issues and challenges in FinTech
 	Cryptocurrencies and crypto assets
 	Future financial, monetary and regulatory landscape with CBDCs and other
private digital currencies
 	Critical distinctions between CBDC and crypto assets, traditional and
digital currency, and tokenization and digitization
 	Key required advances in central bank ledger functionality (e.g., such as
name-on-register protections, improved B2B settlement mechanisms, and B2C
payment options, etc.)
 	Digital currencies and FinTech for cross-border payments
 	Competition among digital currencies and various payment systems
Further Information:
Papers submitted on the theme of this Special Issue will initially be
reviewed by the Guest Editors. These editors will decide which papers will
proceed to being reviewed by two anonymous referees. The normal submission
fee of the Journal of Financial Stability will be applied to papers
submitted for possible publication in this Special Issue. The Managing
Editor of the Journal has oversight of this process and will determine the
final set of papers to be accepted for publication.
Potential authors whose papers are relevant to the theme of this Special
Issue are encouraged to submit their papers via the normal online platform
of the Journal of Financial Stability. During the submission process, you
will receive a prompt asking whether the paper being submitted is intended
for the Special issue on FinTech. The authors should simply follow the
relevant steps outlined in the prompt. The Journal’s online platform for
submission of the papers for this Special Issue will be open from 1 August.
The deadline for submission of the papers to this Special Issue is 31
August, 2022.
The authors of those papers identified as being suitable for the refereeing
process will be invited to present their papers at the 35th Australasian
Finance and Banking Conference (14 to 16 December, Sydney, Australia).
However, only those papers which are accepted by the Journal after the
refereeing process has been completed, will go on to be published in the
Special Issue of the JFS. More details will be communicated to these
authors in due course.
All authors whose papers are processed for refereeing will have the option
of presenting their paper either online or face to face at this Conference.
Economy airfare will be paid for those authors who are able to attend the
conference in person and present their papers. More details will be
provided to the relevant authors in due course.
