Issuing digital euro, or ‘Cash+,’ is probably a duty, French central banker says By Cointelegraph

The digital euro holds something in store for every stakeholder, Governor of the Banque de France François Villeroy de Galhau told commercial bankers on June 22. Disintermediation is not in the works, he said at the Global Official Institutions Conference hosted by French multinational bank BNP Paribas (OTC:).

Before addressing the euro central bank digital currency (CBDC), Villeroy de Galhau began with an explanation of why the banking crisis earlier this year did not affect the eurozone. He credited European regulation and supervision for keeping its banking system safe. He noted, however, that the acquisition of Credit Suisse by UBS “raised new questions” about reliable crisis resolution. “The framework for the ECB to provide ‘Eurosystem resolution liquidity’ has yet to be built,” he said.
