The President of the German Federal Bank hopes to launch a stablecoin pegged to the euro to prevent dollarization.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Joachim Nagel, a member of the European Central Bank Governing Council and President of the German Federal Bank, stated in a speech at the German-American Chamber of Commerce that launching euro-denominated stablecoins can provide low-cost cross-border payment services for individuals and businesses, and address the dollarization risk posed by dollar stablecoins. Joachim Nagel pointed out that if domestic currency is replaced by dollar stablecoins, it would be equivalent to dollarization of the relevant economy, which could severely weaken the effectiveness of domestic monetary policy and European sovereignty. Currently, the European Central Bank is evaluating the possibility of using distributed ledger technology in non-central bank currencies, including tokenized deposits and euro stablecoins, and plans to launch a digital euro in 2029. Additionally, the European Central Bank is developing wholesale CBDC to enable participation by financial market institutions in programmable transactions.

Schroders Chief Economist: U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls Data Below Expectations, but Recent Factors May Weaken the Need for Rate Cuts

Gate News Report, March 6 — Schroders Global Chief Economist David Rees commented on the U.S. non-farm payroll data. Rees pointed out that the non-farm employment figures were significantly below expectations, providing a basis for dovish discussions within the Federal Reserve. He stated that at least part of the deviation below expectations was due to strikes in the healthcare industry, which are expected to be reversed. Additionally, despite the soft employment report, the continued growth in labor demand persists amid the ongoing strong U.S. economic expansion. Rees mentioned that Kevin Woor, who is about to become the Federal Reserve Chair, previously expressed the view that the application of artificial intelligence would greatly enhance U.S. productivity and create room for rate cuts. However, he also noted that the recovery of the labor market and inflation risks from Middle Eastern events would weaken the need for rate cuts in the short term.
