CBDC code in Brazil: openness, privacy and control in the focus
The Brazilian code for digital central bank currencies (CBDC) has recently attracted a lot of attention. An analysis of the CBDC code of the Brazilian central bank focuses on its functionality and possible effects. These discussions emphasize the importance of openness, privacy and control in the implementation of a CBDC.
The CBDC code contains a variety of functions, including the ability to freeze and thaw profiles. In addition, there is the possibility to improve or even lower equilibriums and to transfer money from one account to another. In addition, the code enables the creation and abolition of electronic documents based on defined agreements.
An essential concern of the analysis of Pedro Magalhães is the lack of clarity of the code in relation to the conditions for freezing gifts as well as the identification and approval of institutions for such activities. The lack of clear guidelines in the code arouses concerns about possible abuse of these functions. Magalhães emphasizes that these aspects have to be made transparent and that the social dialogue should be used to disclose information. So far, however, this step has not yet been implemented.
The idea of a CBDC is welcomed in the crypto area, but there are also concerns about economic independence and privacy. The supporters of a CBDC argue that it offers many advantages, such as an improved traceability of income tax, the evaluation of source allowances, openness to changes in the law and a secure technological environment.
The potential effects of such a code are viewed critically by some cryptocurrency participants. The concentration of power in the hands of the main authorities of the CBDC regulations could enable control over the entire body. This increases the concerns of privacy, freedom and abuse of opportunities. However, it is argued that these reports should promote dialogue about the harmony between economic management and the protection of private rights.
Pedro expressed a different opinion and sees potential advantages in possession of such functions within the CBDC committee, especially for secure investments and other economic processes that are funded by decentralized money management (Defi).
The CBDC code in Brazil represents an exciting development in the field of digital central bank currencies.
