Christine Lagarde is talking up an "EU Digital Coin". That's rich, coming from a convicted fraudster.

@Lagarde
The euro is key to our European unity. A digital euro, existing alongside cash, would future-proof our currency. It would be safe, easy to use and free of charge.
While the decision whether to issue a digital euro will be taken later, weโre now launching the preparation phase.
Franceโs Cour de Justice de la Republique found Lagarde guilty over her failure to challenge a fraudulent โฌ403 million (US$ 418 million) settlement to businessman Bernard Tapie in a dispute with the French government, according to media reports.
The court declined to punish Lagarde or give her a criminal record.
