Recently, a new concept of central bank digital currency (CBDC)
has emerged in the financial system. It has attracted
significant attention and promises huge potential for the
economy. The thesis is focused on identifying the impact of the
introduction of CBDC on economic policy by conducting a
systematic literature review and synthesizing existing
knowledge into a comprehensive overview. The systematic
literature review is done in accordance with PRISMA 2020
framework. Findings suggest that CBDC may deliver various
benefits, serve as a valuable policy instrument, and promote
innovation and inclusion in the financial system. However, the
adoption of CBDC may also entail certain risks that could be
largely addressed with appropriate measures. Overall, CBDC may
be worth adopting, however, it depends on the policy objective
of the central bank and the general economic context.
