00:00Our common currency, the Euro, builds bridges between Europeans and opens doors to the world.
00:07Maybe you also remember this feeling when we held the Eurobills in our hands for the very first time.
00:15I saw a bridge on one side and a door on the other side.
00:20A bridge and a door.
00:22Both are symbols for Europe, symbols for our union.
00:27The Euro builds bridges of cooperation and fair competition in our single market.
00:33A market that has flourished in these 20 years as never before.
00:38And the Euro opens doors to the world.
00:42We are the biggest player in world trade and nearly half of this trade takes place in Euros.
00:49The stability of the Euro is treasured around the world.
00:53Our common currency is a true symbol for the strength of Europe.
01:02The Euro also reflects our values.
01:05The world we want to live in.
01:08It is the global currency for sustainable investments.
01:1230% of next generation EU, our recovery plan, is earmarked for investments in the climate transition.
01:20The European Union is set to become by far the biggest issuer of green bonds.
01:27And we can all be proud of that.
01:30And I'm sure that this pride will also be reflected in the design of the new Eurobills that the ECB
01:39is preparing for.
01:41I am already looking forward to holding them in my hands.
01:45I am already looking forward to holding the continued wants to breathe.
01:45Grazie.
