In October, the European Central Bank published a report on a digital euro examining the issuance of CBDC from a Eurosystem perspective. John Mourmouras, senior deputy governor at the Bank of Greece, discusses this report and the prospect of a digital euro. He examines the effectiveness of monetary policy and financial stability considerations in the presence of CBDC.
This virtual discussion is part of the OMFIF Digital Monetary Institute. OMFIF, the global central banking think tank, proudly announces the launch of the OMFIF Digital Monetary Institute on 5 May.
