Europe
Europe’s central‑bank pillar, the ECB, plans a digital‑euro pilot in 2027 using real transactions by ECB and national staff, with 36 market operators (7 from Italy). The initiative seeks to give the EU sovereignty over payments infrastructure that is currently heavily dependent on non‑European third parties – about two‑thirds of euro‑area card transactions are governed by non‑European companies. If legislation is adopted by year‑end, the ECB Governing Council could issue a formal decision and launch the digital euro in 2029. The digital euro aims to reduce the bloc’s strategic vulnerability in payments while maintaining the option to choose external partners. Milan is a city in Europe. Marseille is a city in Europe.
