💡 Towards a new era of payment: As early as 2025, the European Union could shake up our habits with the digital euro, a secure electronic currency guaranteed by the European Central Bank (ECB) (source: Maison & Travaux). Unlike cryptocurrencies, this currency will be public and reliable.
🛠️ A project in preparation: Since November 2023, experiments have been underway to test the technical functioning of the digital euro. If the results are conclusive and the legislative framework is adopted, it could be deployed as early as 2027 (source: Maison & Travaux).
💳 How does it work? : Designed to be used by everyone in the eurozone, the digital euro will allow secure electronic payments, including offline, while respecting users' privacy. However, holding limits could be introduced to ensure financial stability (source: Maison & Travaux).
📉 Cash is not disappearing!: Don’t worry, notes and coins will continue to exist. The digital euro will simply complement current means of payment, offering more choice to citizens (source: Maison & Travaux).
🌍 Strengthening European sovereignty: The digital euro also aims to reduce Europe's dependence on large international payment platforms while stimulating innovation in the European financial sector (source: Maison & Travaux).
💻 The future is digital: This ambitious project promises to revolutionize payments while ensuring security, confidentiality and freedom of use.
