Verso l'euro digitale

Guarda la registrazione dell'incontro con Emilio Barucci che si è tenuto in STEP FuturAbility District nell'ambito del programma scientifico culturale.

Thanks to the digital euro, electronic payments will be able to be made at a shop with a degree of privacy similar to what we experience today using banknotes. Not only that, we will be able to keep our money at a private bank but, in fact, at the central bank without the worry of not being able to withdraw it from a cash machine. But why is it necessary for the ECB to issue the digital euro? What will be the technical features of this new coin? And above all, what are the effects on how the financial system works and on our everyday lives?
