Digital Euro: A shield, not a sword | Daily Sabah

Europe’s new digital currency protects the home market but leaves the geopolitical contest to Washington and Beijing

  • The article discusses the European Parliament's approval of the digital euro, highlighting its potential as a geoeconomic tool rather than just a consumer product.
  • It contrasts the digital euro's defensive, inward-looking design with the more strategically outward-looking approaches of the US (stablecoins) and China (state-led infrastructure).
  • The author argues that for the digital euro to gain global influence, it needs to focus on wholesale and cross-border infrastructure, interoperability, and a clear international dimension, rather than solely on domestic protection.
