Sumă record de bani cash, în piaţă, în Europa. BCE face noi paşi spre introducerea monedei digitale. Când ar urma să apară euro digital

The European Central Bank reports a record cash amount in circulation, exceeding 1.6 trillion euros, while also advancing plans for a digital euro. The increase in cash is attributed to a trend of saving rather than spending. Negotiations for the digital euro are ongoing, aiming for legislation by the end of 2026. The ECB is also preparing new banknotes to emphasize that cash will remain an option alongside digital payments. Recommendations suggest keeping cash on hand for emergencies, with a guideline of around 200 euros for families.
