nine slides that lay out the possible options for user privacy in the EU’s Central Bank Digital Currency , also known as the digital euro.
Acknowledging the public concern for the CBDC’s privacy, the presentation stresses the need to assess the issue “in the context of other EU policy objectives, notably anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism .” What this bureaucratic verbiage means in practice is that the baseline privacy scenario for the digital euro project is all transaction data being transparent to intermediaries such as banks. The option of providing a higher degree of privacy for low-value transactions is still on the table, though, and “could be investigated with co-legislators.”
However, the overall mood of the document can be expressed in a single quote from slide four, which goes: “User anonymity is not a desirable feature.” At this point, Hansen concludes, it isn’t clear how exactly the digital euro would differ from the existing fiat-based infrastructure for digital payments.
