Legislația privind euro digital ar putea fi gata până la finalul anului

Christine Lagarde, the President of the European Central Bank, announced that legislation for a digital euro could be completed by the end of 2026. She emphasized the urgency of the project, stating that a pilot for the digital euro is expected to start in mid-2027. Lagarde introduced 'Pontes', a digital euro solution for banks, which will utilize distributed ledger technology to facilitate wholesale financial transactions. She also noted ongoing economic uncertainties and the need for close monitoring of financial markets. Lagarde left open the possibility of leaving the ECB before her term ends in October 2027, while sources suggest support for Klaas Knot as her potential successor.
