The People's Bank of China held its 2025 conference on currency and bullion management and security protection work on 24–25 February, reviewing 2024 delivery and setting the next-stage priorities for cash supply and circulation, digital renminbi development and applications, and safety and security management. The review highlighted progress in strengthening renminbi issuance and circulation management, advancing digital renminbi research and application, and improving security management, alongside completing annual cash supply assurance tasks and improving the cash circulation environment. For 2025, the work plan focuses on ensuring cash supply and improving cash services, upgrading county-level anti-counterfeit governance, raising standards across renminbi collection, sorting and destruction, continuing digital renminbi research and exploring new application scenarios, and tightening safety production and security responsibilities including guarding and cash-in-transit management; it also calls for more forward-looking research and stronger systems, staffing and cross-functional coordination.
