One of them is central bank digital currency ( CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency)), specifically the digital euro. I would like to talk about this in my speech today. There are three aspects which I wish to address. First, the opportunities and risks presented by the digital euro. Second, the international dimensions of CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency).
Many central banks across the globe are currently working on this issue. We should take this opportunity and try to make systems compatible across currency zones. And third, I will report on the current status of the digital euro project. The digital euro offers a whole range of opportunities. However, I will begin with the potential economic risks of introducing it.
