Abstract

In this paper, I introduce a New Keynesian - Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (NK-DSGE) model to examine the implications of CBDCs and cryptocurrency in an open economy for emerging markets. In our model, cryptocurrency is implemented as a form of deposit in banks where bankers can also receive deposits from abroad. Lastly, CBDCs are introduced as a payment and saving instrument. I find that cryptocurrency has a crucial role in banking sectors and a significant effect on the dynamic of foreign debt which is highly important for emerging markets. Moreover, I uncover that CBDCs can generate welfare gains but the gain varies with their designs.
