Stage Bytes | How the EU is Moving Towards a Digital €

Money20/20 Europe | Wednesday, 5 June 2024

Right now one of the world’s biggest financial institutions - the European Central Bank, is preparing foundations for its own digital currency.

The preparation phase has already begun in the EU, and this is an opportunity to hear directly from Evelien Witlox, who is spearheading the initiative. We'll discuss what the next steps are, why we might want a digital Euro, and offer the inside track on how privacy and circulation will be handled. There are lots of questions still being asked on this subject, and this session will look to offer the answers.
