2022-6: "A digital euro and the future of cash"

+ +

Background

+

+The Central Bank of Austria has +published a report in the context of celebrating 20 years of +Euro-denominated cash. The report discusses the future of cash, +including account- and blockchain-based designs, as well as +GNU Taler. +

+

Abstract

+

+What is the discussion about a digital euro – and, more generally, digital +central bank currencies – all about? We are focusing here on the future of +cash. For strategic reasons, central banks are seeking to provide a credible +and viable public anchor for digital money given that the future might be +shaped more strongly by new private issuers of money. The technological +structures and business model-driven incentives of the new players, which are +associated with the internet economy and thrive on network effects, might lead +to a concentration of significant market power in payments. Ultimately, this +might even result in a fragmented monetary system and jeopardize universal +access to public money. From a central bank’s perspective, the crucial +question is therefore not so much about replacing cash with new payment +technologies but about finding ways to ensure that the monetary system will +continue to work in the public interest in a digital future. Cash will, and +should, play a role also in a future monetary system. By creating a digital +euro, central banks in the euro area aim to adapt cash in such a way that it +meets the needs of the digital age. +
