European Commission opens new consultation on digital euro
The European Commission is calling for financial services specialists to weigh in on the potential rollout of a digital euro.
In a Tuesday notice, the European Commission’s Directorate‑General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union said it would be preparing an assessment of the central bank digital currency based on the expected impact on financial service providers, retail users and chambers of commerce. The commission will consult with industry specialists on issues concerning the digital euro including international payments, privacy, the impact on the financial sector and financial stability, use cases alongside cash payments, and Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism rules.
