The Eurosystem’s retail payments strategy and the digital euro project aim to achieve a higher level of efficiency, strategic autonomy and resilience in retail payments, as well as supporting digitalisation and innovation. What is the state of progress of the digital euro? How can the public and the private sectors join forces to strengthen the European retail payments market? How can the co-existence of payment solutions based on central bank and commercial bank money be supported in the digital age?

In a digitalised world, access to safe, efficient and convenient means of payment remains essential. How can this be achieved when various groups respond differently to innovation? How can we ensure that retail payments are inclusive, and that all citizens can effectively use digital means of payments? How can we guarantee that vulnerable groups are not left behind and do not become easy victims of payment fraud?

Panel: G20 Roadmap for enhancing cross-border payments: Interlinking of fast payment systems as a priority action

Chair: Tara Rice, Head of Secretariat, Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures, Bank for International Settlements

  • Ulrich Bindseil, Director General Market Infrastructure and Payments, European Central Bank
  • Maha El Dimachki, Head of the Singapore Centre, BIS Innovation Hub
  • Mehdi Manaa, Chief Executive Officer, Buna
  • Ritesh Shukla, Chief Executive Officer, NPCI International Payments Limited
  • José Luis Langa Hernando, Deputy Managing Director, Iberpay

The G20 roadmap addresses major challenges associated with cross-border payments, which, compared to domestic payments, are still expensive, opaque and slow. Enhancing cross-border payments is also part of the Eurosystem retail payments strategy. What is the status of the G20 action plan, and what can central banks and other stakeholders do to move ahead with its implementation, notably on interlinking fast payment systems across borders? What are the advantages and disadvantages of bilateral links and multilateral links, different development strategies, and implementation prospects?
