A digital euro would offer a wide range of

Key Points: 
    • A digital euro would offer a wide range of
      financial stability benefits, including safeguarding the role of public money and
      strengthening the strategic autonomy and monetary sovereignty of the euro area in
      the digital era.
    • Keywords: CBDC, digital euro, bank intermediation, financial stability risks.
    • A digital euro has the potential to offer a wide range of financial stability
      benefits for the digital era.
    • A digital euro would
      stimulate financial innovation among private sector entities and enhance the

    • When gauging the implications for the euro area banking sector of introducing a
      digital euro, take-up would be key, as it would determine the level of deposit
      outflows.
    • In the latter case, the
      issuance of a digital euro would not affect banks? balance sheets, since banks would return euro
      banknotes to the Eurosystem in exchange for digital euro.
    • Banknotes and digital euro are two different
      types of central bank liability, so a swap between banknotes and digital euro would only affect the
      composition and not the size of the Eurosystem?s balance sheet.
    • In our analysis, we model only the
      substitution of commercial bank deposits with a possible future digital euro.

      The legislative proposal on a digital euro provides for the inclusion of such safeguards and establishes

      The added value of digital euro
      safeguards such as holding limits
      To understand the benefits of digital euro safeguards, such as holding limits, it
      is useful to first consider the implications of introducing a CBDC without

Key Points: 
  • But does the organizational structure affect a company using multiple suppliers to make multiple products, especially when one considers exclusive contracts with the suppliers?
  • A new study conducted by Pusan National University Scientist says yes.
  • In vertically-related (niche) markets, the choice of organizational form becomes critical, and it is worthwhile to ask how it can be optimized.
  • In a recent study published in the Journal of Economics , Professor Kangsik Choi of Pusan National University, Republic of Korea, explored this question, accounting for exclusive dealings.
