ECB policymaker warns of fragmentation without digital euro

A ECB executive board member said the potential introduction of a digital euro ”would not to take over the role of banks,” but ensure they have a role in the EU’s monetary system.

A member of the European Central Bank’s (ECB) executive board has warned that other entities could provide alternatives without the central bank’s introduction of a digital euro, potentially weakening Europe’s “resilience and monetary sovereignty.”
