Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Irish Presidency is working to finalize the digital euro legislative process by year-end, which could allow the European Central Bank to begin preparations for a 2029 launch, potentially reducing Europe’s reliance on foreign card schemes. Discussions during the Presidency also included improving Europe's competitiveness and negotiating the EU's next multi-year budget.
