In this episode of RANE’s Essential Geopolitics podcast powered by Stratfor, Emily Donahue speaks to Michael Monderer, Stratfor senior analyst for global economics at RANE.

This year, China began testing a digital currency. So far the experiments have seemed to be positive, which could put China in line to be the first country with a central bank-issued digital currency. Monderer explains what that means, why businesses should care, and the forecast for China's digital plans.
