I'm assuming they are updating the security features to make them as counterfeit-proof as possible. Giving them a new design makes it easier to tell the old ones and the new ones apart.

That would be an explanation I could accept. Would be nice if Mme Lagarde said anything to that effect in the video.

I have to admit that I didn't watch the whole video, I just assumed based on the last redesign. But I looked into it and apparently there are several reasons besides security reasons, among them making the banknotes more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Thank you for the link. Whatever the reason, I would appreciate if she mentioned it, even in passing, instead of making viewers dig for more information.
