He emphasized the need for central bank money to remain at the core of the financial system.<blockquote>Additionally, Panetta mentioned that the European Central Bank (ECB) will not access personal data while working to prevent activities like money laundering and terrorist financing.</blockquote>Moreover, Panetta explained that while the European Central Bank (ECB) will be responsible for developing the digital euro, the distribution aspect will be handled by other banks. He clarified that the central bank lacks expertise in customer dealings and it would be impractical for them to engage in that aspect of the business.Panetta’s statements come shortly after the European Union (EU) approved the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) bill, which was initially proposed three years ago. He previously mentioned that the digital euro is not intended to replace physical banknotes as long as there is still demand for cash.Important: This article is intended solely for informational purposes.
