"The 'digital competitors' […] entering the market of financial services may produce the 'digital rivals' to national currencies through the digital means of payment they offer, which can fundamentally transform the monetary system as we know it today. Central banks also need to respond to this challenge," MNB governor György Matolcsy said in the forward to the volume.
