De Guindos: Implementing the final elements of Basel III faithfully and without delay is crucial. The lack of a European deposit insurance scheme is a source of vulnerability. Completing the banking union is essential to pave the way for a stronger and more prosperous Europe
4/4
De Guindos: Spillovers from recent banking stress in other regions were mitigated by solid euro area bank fundamentals. We must attune our regulatory framework to the times and strengthen the regulation of non-banks to avoid the risk of blind spots in the financial system.
3/4
The inflation outlook continues to be too high for too long. In this highly uncertain environment, our decisions will be data-dependent to determine the appropriate level and duration of restrictive policy to achieve a timely return of inflation to our 2% target.

During this period of high uncertainty, we must ensure closer European integration and a solid regulatory framework, says Vice-President Luis de Guindos as he presents our 2022 Annual Report to the @europarl_en.

Panetta on Europe’s future progress: If we, as Europeans, want to continue to play a role on the world stage, we need to act together.
A European fiscal policy that complements our monetary policy would help us avoid many tensions and imbalances.
4/4
Panetta on privacy and a digital euro: the ECB wouldn’t have access to personal data.
For financial intermediaries distributing a digital euro, the legislator would strike a balance between ensuring data confidentiality and combating money laundering and terrorist financing
3/4
Panetta on payments and a digital euro: a digital euro would provide a platform for European financial intermediaries to offer innovative payment services across the entire euro area. This would foster competition and innovation
2/4
🧵 To safeguard financial stability, we need to keep central bank money at the heart of the financial system, Executive Board member Fabio Panetta tells @LesEchos. A digital euro would allow Europeans to pay anywhere in the euro area free of charge.
