We will soon establish a dedicated unit tasked with proposing and coordinating Fintech initiatives, as well as monitoring retail payment services and instruments. This will allow us to capitalize on the synergies between banknote circulation, electronic payments and digital services, and strengthen our capacity to observe phenomena that could lead to the development of new products in the future.
Our efforts remain focused on supporting the development of a broadbased and safe digital economy, providing support for innovative projects promoted by the private sector and ensuring that households, firms and general government derive the maximum benefit. We will promote the nation’s main financial centre, namely Milan, as a digital innovation hub on a European scale.
