Abolition of cash, price increases, inflation: Hardly before has the European means of payment been in more focus than recently. The euro has been a reliable means of payment for the Austrian population for over two decades. In view of advancing digitalization, the introduction of a digital euro is now being considered – however, this should not replace cash, but rather complement it in a meaningful way. Cash remains the most popular means of payment in Austria. The Oesterreichische Nationalbank also confirms that it will continue to ensure euro banknotes and coins as a generally accepted means of payment in the future. However, in times of high inflation, monetary policy measures are also increasingly the focus. What factors drive inflation rates? What is the European Central Bank doing to achieve the inflation target of two percent? The “National Bank Forum” with OeNB Governor Robert Holzmann on November 7th offers an ideal opportunity to look at and discuss current developments such as the introduction of the digital euro, the expansion of the euro area and the stability of the common currency.
