The ECB has announced its intention to conduct new experiments with the digital euro next year in order to further explore the potential of its use. This project is of strategic importance, as it is seen as an important step to preserve the financial independence of the eurozone from the influence of the United States. According to representatives of the ECB, the results of the current tests with the participation of private sector partners are encouraging. The digital euro is capable of acting as an electronic wallet, which will be managed by the central bank, ensuring the reliability and security of transactions. The conducted tests demonstrated the practical advantages of the new currency. For example, it can be used for automated payments for public transport, as well as significantly simplify the process of making certain types of monetary refunds. This statement highlights the continued progress in the development of the digital currency, which remains the focus of the ECB's attention. The Central Bank continues to carefully study the prospects for the introduction of such a tool, testing its practical application and developing effective implementation strategies.
