Did you know that economic violence affects 12% of women in the EU? While awareness of sexual and physical violence has grown, economic abuse is often misunderstood and remains largely in the shadows.
In this video, we explore the three main types of economic violence – control, exploitation and sabotage – and touch on what needs to be done to tackle it.
By putting the facts in focus, we take a closer look at what charts and numbers can tell us.

The preparation phase of the digital euro was aimed at making the digital euro secure, private and easy to use for everyone.
🗓️ Here’s the timeline for the next phase:
➡️ November 2025: the next phase begins – it’s time to build the digital euro!
➡️ 2026: EU legislators decide on the digital euro Regulation.
➡️ 2027: we kick off a pilot project and the first digital euro transactions go live.
➡️ 2029: “Cash or digital euro?” could be the new question when paying.
The digital euro will give you more freedom to choose how you pay, alongside cash.
🎙️ In the latest episode of #TheECBPodcast, Executive Board member Piero Cipollone talks about how the digital euro can foster innovation.
🚆 Picture this: you’ve meticulously planned your holiday – booked your train, mapped out your itinerary and secured the perfect hotel. But your train is delayed.
❓ Now, what if you only paid for the train ticket if the train arrives on time? That’s called a conditional payment – and it’s just one example of the innovations the digital euro could bring about.

What, if anything, is holding banks back from engaging more in digitalisation and AI? Outdated IT systems weigh on strategy execution, while regulation and supervision race to keep pace with new risks. Will digitalisation drive innovation – or expose vulnerabilities?
