With it, we can not only carry out transactions faster and more efficiently, but also drive innovations such as the Internet of Things and the sharing economy. The introduction of a CBDC offers the chance to make payments safer and more stable and to open up new possibilities for monetary policy making. It is an important step towards a digital future in which the opportunities and challenges of digitalisation in the financial sector can be mastered. With our digital euro working group, we are playing a decisive role in shaping the future of our monetary policy.<\/q><\/blockquote><div class=\"author\" style=\"color:var(--awb-color8);\"><span class=\"company-name\"><strong>Sarah Rentschler-Gerloff<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sarah-rentschler-gerloff\/\" target=\"_self\"><span>Leiterin der AG digitaler Euro<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"testimonial-pagination\" id=\"fusion-testimonials-1\"><a href=\"#\" aria-label=\"Testimonial Pagination\"  class=\"activeSlide\"><\/a><a href=\"#\" aria-label=\"Testimonial Pagination\" ><\/a><a href=\"#\" aria-label=\"Testimonial Pagination\" ><\/a><a href=\"#\" aria-label=\"Testimonial Pagination\" ><\/a><a href=\"#\" aria-label=\"Testimonial Pagination\" ><\/a><a href=\"#\" aria-label=\"Testimonial Pagination\" ><\/a><a href=\"#\" aria-label=\"Testimonial Pagination\" ><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-section-separator section-separator custom fusion-section-separator-1\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-svg\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-spacer\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-spacer-height\" style=\"height:;\"><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-section-separator-1 .fusion-section-separator-svg {margin-left:1.92%;margin-right:1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-section-separator-1 .fusion-section-separator-svg {margin-left:1.92%;margin-right:1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-section-separator-1 .fusion-section-separator-svg {margin-left:1.92%;margin-right:1.92%;}}.fusion-section-separator.fusion-section-separator-1 .fusion-section-separator-svg svg,.fusion-section-separator.fusion-section-separator-1 .fusion-section-separator-svg-bg{height:70px;}.fusion-section-separator.fusion-section-separator-1 .fusion-section-separator-spacer-height{height:70px !important;padding-top:inherit !important;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h3>You have a topic that no working group is dealing with yet?<\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5 fusion-text-no-margin\" style=\"margin-bottom:70px;\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">We form the working groups according to participant demand and current topics.
