Episode 14: Digital Assets and the Digital Euro

Show notes

In particular, in this episode, we focus on addressing the following questions among others:

How does a digital Euro support the digitization of financial assets? Is a digital Euro for the settlement of assets needed? Which benefits does a digital Euro provide? Should the digital euro be provided via a wholesale or a retail CBDC or should the private sector provide such a solution? What are the learnings from current projects around settling bonds with central bank money via wholesale CBDCs? Which role does blockchain technology play? Who is frontrunning wholesale CBDCs? When will we have a wholesale CBDC in the Euro Area? During the webinar, you will also have the opportunity to ask direct questions to the speakers.
