Leithner said, "The introduction of a permanent digital euro (CBDC) is necessary to strengthen the financial stability, efficiency and financial autonomy of the European Union (EU)."
In a policy report released on the 15th, CEO Leitner laid out a 10-step strategy to transform the EU's Capital Markets Union (CMU) into a Savings and Investment Union (SIU),
He included central bank digital currencies as a core element of this strategy, stressing that the introduction of CBDCs will play a key role in the EU's digital and monetary strategies.
He also commented on the EU's policy tone and digital leadership approach, and said he expects the EU to work closely with the European Central Bank (ECB) and each country to take a more digital leadership role.
He said central banks must work together to ensure that a digital euro can strengthen the EU's capital markets ecosystem.
"It would be optimal for the ECB to work with national central banks to promote CBDC," Leitner said.
"We will explore practical solutions and contribute to enriching the EU capital markets ecosystem."
