Under such a name, reference is made to Treasury bills issued in small denominations (in Euros), bearing no interest, with no expiry date, and which the Italian Exchequer would accept as a means of payment of taxes. The proposal has been predictably met with marked skepticism by European institutions and by the Italian Minister of Economy and Finance. However, the wisest move, in prudential, political and economic terms, would be that European institutions would embrace experimentation with complementary currencies, in genuine federal spirit. funded by the government CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Euro Europäische Zentralbank European Central Bank eurozone sovereign debt Staatsverschuldung Währungsunion Goldoni, Marco Author aut Dani, Marco Author aut Max Steinbeis Verfassungsblog gGmbH Verfassungsblog 2366-7044 https://staging.verfassungsblog.de/mini-bots-complementary-currencies-and-the-european-monetary-malaise/ raw object
