ECB Executive Board will submit a digital euro progress report on October 24

According to Bloomberg, European Central Bank Executive Board member Piero Cipollone said that as efforts to advance the digital euro project intensify, the digital euro is expected to become a reality by 2029.

Last week, eurozone finance ministers reached an agreement on setting customer holding limits. Cipollone considers this a "major breakthrough" and sees momentum building. On Tuesday, he stated at the Bloomberg Future of Finance event that discussions at the member state level are progressing smoothly, and mid-2029 is a reasonable launch date. The biggest obstacle now is that the European Parliament needs to pass legislation. After submitting the progress report on October 24, parliamentarians will have six weeks to propose amendments, followed by five months of discussion. By early May, the parliament's position may be known. Cipollone also said that a general guideline, i.e., an agreement among member states, should be reached by the end of the year.
