Starting in 2026, branches of the central bank in Shanghai, Yunnan, Chongqing, Sichuan, and other places have successively held annual work conferences, and on the basis of a systematic summary of the achievements in 2025, they have clearly deployed key tasks for developing the digital renminbi in the new year.
