Beschreibung:
The introduction of a digital currency is part of the continuous evolution of the financial system, which has always been driven bytechnological innovations. For the first time in many years, Western central banks are exposed to potential currency competition. But a dig-ital euro also has the potential to affect the two-tier structure of the grown financial system. The ECB should not engage in an interest ratecompetition with commercial banks and the digital currency should remain non-interest-bearing. Instead of imposing holding limits, noticeperiods could also be used to reduce the risk of bank runs. The ECB should limit itself and implement a hybrid digital central bank currency.
