Christine Lagarde has broadened the language of central banking beyond inflation and interest rates. Her vision reveals Europe’s deeper dilemma: a common currency cannot create economic scale, monetary sovereignty or integrated capital markets without corresponding political architecture.
Europe’s capital markets do not operate independently. Beneath every share, bond and investment fund lies a monetary system that prices risk, provides liquidity and settles transactions. The ECB guards the stability on which this emerging market architecture rests.
Europe is building a digital euro to reduce dependence on foreign payment systems. But as money becomes infrastructure, the real question shifts: not what money is, but who controls access to the system through which it flows.
