The digital euro concerns the whole society, not only finance
While the development of a digital euro offers new opportunities for Europe, they can only be seized if civil society can take part in this discussion, argue Tristan Dissaux, Jézabel Couppey-Soubeyran, and Wojtek Kalinowski in an opinion piece signed by more than 100 scholars and NGOs.

The ECB will decide this summer whether to continue its plans for digitalizing the euro. With bankers pushing back, the major advantage of a digital euro has gained little attention, writes Igor Pejic.

The euro is the right kind of project at a time when Europe seeks to maintain its standard of life, its affluence, its relative political stability, and its say in international affairs, writes Jan Techau.
It’s Europe, stupid!
The real question facing us is not whether to say yes or no to Syriza, but how the EU continues its construction, write Ernest Maragall MEP and Jordi Angusto.
