ECB Executive Board Member: Progress report on digital euro to be submitted on October 24
Piero Cipollone, a member of the European Central Bank's Executive Board, stated that with increased efforts to advance the digital euro project, the digital euro is expected to become a reality by 2029. Last week, Eurozone finance ministers reached an agreement on customer holding limits, which Cipollone considers a "significant breakthrough," and he sees positive momentum. On Tuesday, he mentioned at a Bloomberg Financial Future event that discussions at the member state level are progressing smoothly, and mid-2029 may be a reasonable launch date. The main obstacle currently is the need for legislative support from the European Parliament. After submitting the progress report on October 24, members will have six weeks to propose amendments, followed by five months of discussions. By early May, the Parliament's position may be known, and Cipollone also indicated that a general guideline should be reached by the end of the year, meaning an agreement among member states.
