Panel 6 - Monetary Sovereignty: meaning and implications

Monetary sovereignty is a concept that is drawing increased attention in public debate, although different meanings of it exist. The panellists will consider possible definitions and implications of the concept together with its potential limits and pitfalls, in particular with regard to its compatibility with international cooperation and global financial stability. Against this background the potential role of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) will also be considered, and in particular the possible impact that they may have on the international role of the euro.
