Haberin tamamı

For centuries, issuing money and safeguarding its value has been at the heart of central banks’ mandate.

People increasingly pay digitally. Financial institutions are experimenting with distributed ledger technology (DLT). Assets are being represented as digital files, or tokens. New actors have entered markets traditionally served by banks.

It can make payments more convenient and finance more efficient. And it can pave the way for new products and business models.

If we do not provide a digital form of cash, the role of public money may continue to decline. And we may find ourselves trapped in a situation where there is no pan-European digital payment solution that caters to every type of day-to-day transaction.

If tokenised finance develops on closed, incompatible platforms without a safe settlement asset, fragmentation could increase and the singleness of money could be weakened.

And when Europe excessively depends on infrastructures, technologies or solutions controlled elsewhere, our resilience and monetary sovereignty is diminished.

The question, therefore, is not whether payments and finance will become more digital. They already are.

The question is how we can ensure that our monetary system continues to preserve the singleness of money, trust and stability, while also supporting efficiency, resilience and autonomy as this transformation unfolds.

Our answer is to extend central bank money into the digital environment while preserving the two-tier monetary system in which public and private money coexist.

In retail payments, this means preparing for a digital euro. In wholesale markets, it means ensuring that central bank money can be used to settle tokenised transactions – through Pontes – while working with the market – through Appia – to shape the wider digital finance ecosystem.

These initiatives are often discussed separately. But they are all part of one comprehensive strategy: to keep central bank money at the heart of retail and wholesale finance, while giving European market participants the infrastructure they need to innovate, grow and remain competitive internationally.

Our monetary system rests on the coexistence of public and private money.

Central bank money is the ultimate risk-free settlement asset. And it supports the role of private money because trust in commercial bank money rests on its convertibility at par into central bank money.

This convertibility ensures the singleness of money. One euro has the same value as any other, throughout the euro area.

Our objective is not therefore to replace private money or private innovation. It is to provide a stable public foundation to ensure day-to-day payments are cheap, resilient and inclusive. And to enable financial innovation to develop safely, at scale, in an integrated European market.

Let me turn first to retail payments. This is what the digital euro is for: our day-to-day transactions.

There is still no European digital means of payment that works across all euro area countries and all major use cases.

European private solutions tend to cover specific markets or payment situations. This means that banks and their customers depend heavily on international card schemes and global technology companies.

Two-thirds of euro area card payments rely on international schemes. Of the 21 euro area countries, 13 have no domestic card scheme. And where a domestic payment solution exists, it does not always cater to all use cases and cannot be used in other euro area countries without co-badging with international schemes.

This is not just a question of sovereignty, resilience and freedom of choice. It is also a question of competitiveness.

European payment service providers have so far been unable to compete with international payment solutions on a European scale, let alone at global level. This is mainly because it would be costly for each individual provider to develop a Europe-wide acceptance network.
