This could create financial fragility in case of an adverse event, and that could lead to a bank run. <\/p>\n<p>In the authors\u2019 model, however, access to a CBDC \u201cintuitively\u201d makes \u201cexperiencing a liquidity shock\u201d less costly to depositors, so banks can provide less insurance against this risk. Thus, a CBDC leads to greater stability of the financial system.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn this way, the adjustments in private financial arrangements in response to a CBDC may tend to stabilize rather than destabilize the financial system.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The second argument was based on a so-called information effect. Banks in weak positions may try to hide that fact from regulators to avoid intervention. Hiding unfavorable information could also make the crisis worse because of delayed response. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>BIS: 90% of Central Banks are researching the utility of CBDCs<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, the nature of CBDCs will allow policymakers the ability to identify situations where funds are being converted, and not simply withdrawn from a bank \u2014 thus spotting problems sooner which can lead to a faster resolution.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBy allowing a quicker policy reaction to a crisis, this information effect is another channel through which CBDC may tend to improve rather than worsen financial stability.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The authors point out that other researchers have suggested imposing caps, fees or other restrictions on CBDC during crises.
