Abstract

This op-ed rebutes rapporteur Fernando Navarrete's digital euro stance, arguing he echoes banking-lobby fears over bank runs and privacy while ignoring weak banking competition and 20% unbanked eurozone residents. We call his position a defense of the status quo, urging a digital euro that builds a more inclusive, resilient monetary system.
