Will the digital euro make our money system better?
What are the potential benefits and/or drawbacks of a digital euro? We will answer in our next policy roundtable, in cooperation with the Veblen Institute.
How a digital euro will prevent future banking crisis
The recent banking crisis shows that the financial system is broken. A digital euro designed for the people, not for private companies, could be the beginning of a more stable and safer public banking option.

The Eurogroup gets back on the digital euro.
Will the digital euro respect citizens’ privacy?
The ECB is currently working on introducing a digital currency – to exist alongside banknotes – that citizens and firms can use for everyday payments. A digital euro would be safer than bank deposits and inherently more stable than crypto assets such as Bitcoin. However, many are worrying: How will the ECB make sure that the digital euro respects users’ privacy?
