There are plans to switch to CBDC (central bank digital currency) to allow for negative interest and increased control of payment flows. BIS, ECB, Fed, all want this.
Climate change provides a narrative for why CBDC are necessary. Technology will allow "carbon taxes" and "carbon credits" to be tracked for ALL activities, and automatically applied to your CBDC account. This will be sold as saving the planet to the norms. In practice, this means centralized control over all transactions, to a degree not possible in the current monetary system.
