The first meeting of the digital euro Rulebook Development Group (RDG) took place on 15 February 2023 at the European Central Bank (ECB). This Group was formed by the Eurosystem’s High-Level Task Force on Central Bank Digital Currency and aims to create a preliminary rulebook for a potential digital euro scheme. The RDG will investigate rules, practices, and standards that can support the distribution and operation of a digital euro. The ECB will publish the agenda and minutes of each RDG meeting, as well as provide regular updates on the progress made. Once a first draft of the Rulebook is ready, there will be extensive public consultation to gather feedback from interested parties. The drafting process will be flexible to accommodate adjustments based on the consultation results and the overall development of the digital euro project. Additionally, there will be Rulebook development workstreams focusing on specific sections that require specialized skills and expertise. Calls for expression of interest will be issued to identify potential candidates, who will be selected based on their experience by the digital euro team. To stay updated on the digital euro, it is advised to regularly monitor the ECB’s website.
