    The report adds new recitals and an explanatory statement setting out the euro's global position, the dollar's dominance, geopolitical tensions and the case for a stronger international role. It adds calls for the EU to promote global interoperability, strengthen its monetary and geopolitical influence, and pursue a balanced approach to financial stability and digital finance. It replaces or drops paragraphs on foreign infrastructure dependence, stablecoins, industrial policy and a sovereignty fund, and adds text on payment infrastructure, the digital euro, swap lines, safe assets and a joint strategy by the end of 2026. It adds hedging to the activities market participants should be able to carry out in euro across cross-border value chains.
