We are still at the beginning of the development of CBDCs and further analysis will be required in order to tackle all key feasibility and operational challenges. In this respect, the Eurosystem is currently evaluating all possible options for a European CBDC in order to be ready to introduce, if needed, a “digital Euro”.
For this purpose, experimentation activities on possible different design solutions of the digital Euro will be launched shortly to better understand its technical feasibility as well as its ability to meet the needs of potential users.
