Amendment 125 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3
(3) Central bank money in the form of banknotes and coins cannot be used for online payments. Today, online payments rely entirely on commercial bank money. The acceptability and fungibility of commercial bank money rely on its convertibility on a one-to-one basis to central bank money with legal tender, which serves as a monetary anchor. That monetary anchor is at the core of the functioning of monetary and financial systems. It underpins users’ confidence in commercial bank money and in the euro as a currency and is therefore essential to safeguard the stability of the monetary system in a digitalised economy and society. As central bank money in physical form alone cannot address the needs of a rapidly digitalising economy, this could gradually remove the monetary anchor for commercial bank money. It is therefore necessarypossible to introduce a new form of official currency with legal tender which is risk free and helps visualise the convertibility at par of the money issued by various commercial banks.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
(6) The digital euro should complement euro banknotes and coins and shouldmust not replace the physical forms of the single currency. As legal tender instruments, both cash and digital euro are equally important. Regulation (EU) [please insert reference – proposal for a Regulation on the legal tender of euro banknotes and coins - COM/2023/364] would harmonise legal tender for cash and ensure that cash is widely distributed and effectively used.
