文章摘要
欧洲央行推动的数字欧元项目获得关键议会支持,旨在减少对Visa和万事达等美国信用卡的依赖,增强欧洲支付自主权。
文章总结
欧洲央行在推动数字欧元项目上取得关键进展,获得了欧洲议会经济委员会的初步支持。数字欧元是一种由央行担保、但由银行或金融科技公司推广的电子钱包,旨在让欧元区居民能够在线和线下进行支付。该项目已酝酿六年,随着特朗普重返白宫并对欧盟加征关税,欧洲担心美国可能利用其在Visa和万事达等支付网络上的主导地位,因此数字欧元的推出变得更加紧迫。草案规定,每位用户持有的数字欧元数量将由欧盟委员会根据欧洲央行的建议决定,并至少每两年审查一次上限;企业持有数字欧元不得超过24小时,且数字欧元不计利息,对用户免费。欧洲议会计划在7月与欧盟理事会和欧盟委员会开始谈判,目标是在年底前获得最终批准。欧洲央行计划在明年下半年进行为期12个月的试点,预计2029年全面推出。
