Ai banchieri centrali il contante non piace.

As economies become increasingly digital, more and more central banks are exploring retail central bank digital currency, or rCBDC, and evaluating different designs.

Designing a functional rCBDC platform presents several challenges for central banks. The central bank can play a critical role in operating the core of the system and ensuring sound money, liquidity and overall security. As retail payment needs are diverse and constantly evolving, one way to meet this demand is through a vibrant community of intermediaries that can foster competition, innovation and access. In their explorations, central banks are therefore contemplating many alternative designs for an rCBDC system.

Sela tests the feasibility of an accessible and cybersecure rCBDC proof of concept. In doing so, it assumes that competition, innovation, access and cyber security are desirable properties of an rCBDC payments platform, and that these properties can be achieved through a public-private partnership that supports a vibrant ecosystem of private sector intermediaries. For this purpose, an rCBDC architecture was chosen where the central bank operates the retail ledger and provides rCBDC accounts for end users, while private intermediaries handle all customer-facing rCBDC services and obligations.

Project Sela, a joint experiment by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the central banks of Hong Kong SAR and Israel, has proven the feasibility of a retail central bank digital currency (rCBDC) ecosystem that combines accessibility, competition and preventative cyber security, while retaining key advantages of physical cash.

Project Sela demonstrates that retail CBDC can support access, cyber security and competition, while retaining cash features

Direi che è una minaccia non tanto velata.

Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.

Donald Trump will “never” support Putin, says Volodymyr Zelensky

But Ukraine’s president fears that some of his country’s Western backers are losing faith

E' difficile dire se il prezzo del petrolio sfonderà i 100 dollari nel breve termine, ma non è da escludere. Questo metterebbe in seria difficoltà la economia globale e porrebbe nell'angolo la banca centrale europea e i governi in Europa, messi di fronte ad una seria stagflazione. Ma potrebbe essere uno scenario favorevole per porre fine alla guerra in Ucraina con un vero negoziato di pace, perchè a quel punto sarebbe chiaro che Putin portebbe continuare a finanziare lo sforzo bellico con un ulteriore incremento del budget militare.

Fatemi capire, ma prima non ha chiesto un report a Draghi sul perchè l'Italia non sia competitiva?

"Chiesto a Draghi un report sulla competitività": "Tre sfide - lavoro, inflazione e ambiente commerciale - arrivano in un momento in cui chiediamo anche all'industria di guidare la transizione pulita. Dobbiamo quindi guardare avanti e stabilire come rimanere competitivi mentre lo facciamo. Per questo motivo ho chiesto a Mario Draghi - una delle grandi menti economiche europee - di preparare un rapporto sul futuro della competitività europea" ha detto von der Leyen.

Almeno il nonno non presidente ha qualcosa da fare ...

Per il resto ci sarebbero tante di quelle critiche da fare ai punti enunciati dalla VdL che è meglio lasciar perdere.
