ECB Executive Board will submit a progress report on the digital euro on October 24
According to Bloomberg, ECB Executive Board member Piero Cipollone stated that with increased efforts to implement the digital euro project, the digital euro is expected to become a reality by 2029.
Last week, Eurozone finance ministers reached an agreement on setting customer holding limits, which Cipollone considers a "major 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 a mid-2029 launch date seems reasonable. The biggest obstacle currently is the need for legislative support from the European Parliament. After the progress report is submitted on October 24, lawmakers will have six weeks to propose amendments and then spend another five months discussing them. By early May, the Parliament's position may be known, and Cipollone also stated that a general guideline should be reached by the end of the year, meaning an agreement among member states.
