The European Parliament’s ECON Committee hearing will focus on ECB efforts to preserve freedom of payment through both physical and digital cash.
Piero Cipollone is scheduled to testify before the European Parliament’s ECON Committee at 15:30 CET on the European Central Bank’s efforts to maintain freedom to pay through physical and digital cash. The hearing points to the ECB’s ongoing work around cash access and digital forms of public money, an area closely watched as policymakers debate how a digital euro could coexist with notes and coins rather than replace them.
