European CBDC Not a Pressing Need for EU Payments, Spain Central Bank Chief Pablo Hernández de Cos Says

“I believe it is our responsibility – not only the central bank’s, but also the financial industry’s – to be ready to ensure that a service which is key to society’s well-being, as the payment system is, does not come under threat. Therefore, and irrespective of the decision which is ultimately made, I believe that all the Eurosystem’s past and future efforts are fully warranted,” Hernández de Cos said.
