The governor of the BNR, Mugur Isărescu, about the introduction of a digital euro: "The digital euro does not replace cash in euros. If we do not have clear cybersecurity systems, 'we will be finished', it blocks payments in three days."

The Governor of the National Bank of Romania (BNR), Mugur Isărescu, spoke on Tuesday about the process of introducing a digital euro and stated that it would not replace cash in euros. 

Speaking about the attempts of Sweden and New Zealand, countries that wanted to move to total digitization, Isărescu said that they faced two considerations that both proved to be practical: retirees, who do not prefer digital, and "if we do not have clear cybersecurity systems, the Russians will finish us off, they will block payments in three days"
