This is an interesting one. I agree with it, but it seems vague. I guess this isn't an area where we can make specific policy recommendations, as it's too early, but perhaps we could point to some people who are doing such research already?

Well it's not something I know much (anything?) about, but I think it's something the group should have a view on. I was hoping someone more knowledgable might be able to link to some evidence of how other governments or parties are adapting their currencies to the digital economy. So this is really just one to kick-start a discussion.

I've kept 1/8 of an eye on this issue and seen that some countries have outright banned digital currency, some are trying to regulate them and most are considering their position.
I did start going through the countries I'd heard about and listing them here, but then I found this: Legality of Bitcoins by country. Wikipedia, eh!
I'\m happy with this, but perhaps we could rephrase this slightly to be more precise. Perhaps:
We will instruct the Treasury to produce a roadmap for the future of currency and the role of central banks in a world with non-state-issued digital currencies, such as Bitcoin.
