Objectives
Objectives
The roundtable will explore whether Europe is on track to build a coherent, innovative and inclusive retail payments ecosystem, and how public policy, regulation and private innovation can be better aligned to support that objective.
Points of discussion
- What are the conditions for making innovation a lever for European integration and strategic autonomy? What would be required to make a pan-European solution realistically achievable?
- How to foster competition and market dynamics?
- What are the main security, fraud and consumer protection challenges raised by innovation in retail payments?
