Digital Government Funding
The goal of this project is to develop and share knowledge about the digitisation of money, the decline in the use of cash and opportunities provided by a new form of (programmable) government funds (digital cash, digital central bank money).
The establishment of a public digital money system can increase the stability of the monetary system, align risk and returns and increase transparency. With programmable money, it would be easier to connect data from physical flows and financial flows. This may contribute to a sustainable economy. Elaborating different scenarios and implementation strategies helps politicians and policy-makers in their decision-making.
