Der digitale Euro aus einer historischen Perspektive

Greitens Jan

Wirtschaftsdienst, 2023, vol. 103, issue 12, 807-810

Abstract: The introduction of a digital currency is part of the continuous evolution of the financial system, which has always been driven by technological innovations. For the first time in many years, Western central banks are exposed to potential currency competition. But a digital euro also has the potential to affect the two-tier structure of the grown financial system. The ECB should not engage in an interest rate competition with commercial banks and the digital currency should remain non-interest-bearing. Instead of imposing holding limits, notice periods could also be used to reduce the risk of bank runs. The ECB should limit itself and implement a hybrid digital central bank currency.
