You
could introduce programmability - what happens if one of the
participants in a transaction puts a restriction on [future use of the
money]?
“There
could be some socially beneficial outcomes from that, preventing
activity which is seen to be socially harmful in some way. But at the

“You
could think of giving your children pocket money, but programming the
money so that it couldn’t be used for sweets. There is a whole range of
things that money could do, programmable money, which we cannot do with
the current technology.”
A
Treasury spokesman said: “Programmability is a potential feature of a
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The Taskforce is coordinating the
exploration of a potential CBDC and no decisions have been taken on
whether to introduce a CBDC in the UK or its design."
