A digital euro could support the Eurosystem's objectives by providing citizens with access to a safe form of money in the fast-changing digital world.
A digital euro would create synergies with private payment solutions and contribute to a more innovative, competitive and resilient European payment system. By serving as a unifying force in Europe's digital economies, a digital euro would also be an emblem of the ongoing process of European integration.
