Aflevering 3, gepubliceerd op 10-05-2022 On 25 February 2022 the Eurogroup issued a statement on the digital euro project. The Eurogroup supports the work carried out by the Eurosystem and the Commission on a digital euro. The Eurogroup took stock of developments so far, based on an update from the ECB and the Commission on their respective work. Ministers support a high level of innovation and ambition during the investigation phase, close monitoring of emerging trends, and the ability to react and adapt to changing demands, whilst recognizing the trade-off between designing an ambitious product and making fast progress. The next thematic discussion, in April 2022, will be on privacy considerations and how they square with other policy objectives, such as countering money laundering, illicit financing and tax evasion.
