In 3 years, the digital euro may appear in the EU

Already in June, the European Commission will develop a legislative framework for the introduction of the digital euro.

The ECB is studying the design of the digital euro, its distribution, and impact on the financial sector. A team of 50 people is working on the project. The Central Bank is in constant contact with the European Commission, which is due to submit a legislative proposal in June. This will provide the legal and regulatory framework for the digital euro.

Then, in October, the Governing Council will decide on the possible start of preparations for the development and testing of the digital euro. This stage can last two or three years. If the Governing Council and European legislators - Member States and Members of the European Parliament - agree, the ECB will be able to launch a digital euro in three to four years.
