https://www.ebf.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Data-economy-banner.jpg1365450The digital euro debate among ECB, policy makers, EU citizens and industry has not zoomed in yet on the one key scenario that shall be tackled with the digital euro project. However, one understanding is commonly shared: the project will impact the European payments landscape. The objective of increased European sovereignty can only be achieved with competitive payment methods offered to the public by European PSPs. One of the main goals of the starting investigation by the ECB should be to define whether a digital euro would support this objective and how in practice it would add value to the EU payments landscape. This would allow to meet Europe’s already existing efficient, secure and well-functioning electronic payments market.
