Italy presented a proposal to exempt merchants from fees on digital payments below €10. The measure aims to boost the use of electronic payments in the country and facilitate low-value transactions.
The idea has the support of the Italian central bank, which recognizes the benefits of promoting greater adoption of digital payment methods among consumers and merchants.
In parallel, final negotiations on the digital euro are underway in Brussels, the European Central Bank's digital currency project that could transform the way Europeans carry out daily transactions.
The Italian proposal comes in the context of these European negotiations, positioning the country as an advocate for more favorable conditions for the implementation of digital payments in the euro area.
