Global regulators to question Facebook's Libra amid EU concerns
By Trend
Global regulators will question Facebook on Monday about its Libra cryptocurrency, amid concerns from European Union governments over the threat the digital currency poses to financial stability, reports Trend referring to Reuters.
Officials from 26 central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, will meet with representatives of Libra in Basel on Monday, the FT said, citing officials.
Libra’s founders have also been invited to answer key questions about the currency’s scope and design, FT said.
Facebook did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment outside regular business hours.
Countries including France and Germany have publicly criticized the social media giant’s Libra project, saying it posed risks to EU states’ sovereignty.
