 The euro is much more than our single currency. For over two decades, it has helped bring stability and growth to Europe, embodying our shared values. But in an ever more digital world, our euro needs to evolve. Let's get ready for a digital euro. We will still have our banknotes and coins, but a digital euro would mean more choice at our fingertips, offering the highest privacy standards and making it accessible to everyone across the euro area. A digital euro would also strengthen Europe's autonomy in the digital world, making our payment sector more resilient. It could become a reality. Let's embrace the digital era with a digital euro.
