The euro is a symbol of Europe’s unity and strength.
For more than two decades, people and businesses have been accustomed to paying with euro coins and banknotes.
And this would not change with a digital euro ↓

Re Today we are proposing to safeguard the role of euro banknotes and coins.
To ensure that all euro area citizens can freely choose their preferred means of payment, EU countries will need to ensure:
🔸a widespread acceptance of cash payments
🔸access to basic cash services https://t.co/5VGcllPbBs

Re We are also proposing the legal framework for a possible digital euro.
People and businesses could pay with the digital euro anytime and anywhere in the euro area.
It would be safe and secure, instant and convenient.
