透明性確保が条件　中銀デジタル通貨―Ｇ７声明

　日米欧の先進７カ国（Ｇ７）の財務相・中央銀行総裁は１３日、テレビ会議を開催し、デジタル通貨を用いた決済について共同声明を取りまとめた。声明では「透明性、法の支配、健全な経済ガバナンス」により、決済システムが信認されていると明記。中央銀行デジタル通貨（ＣＢＤＣ）でも、この３条件を満たすよう求めた。
　麻生太郎財務相は記者会見で、「デジタル人民元」の実証実験に着手した中国を念頭に「（条件を満たさない）中銀のデジタル通貨に注意喚起を行う必要がある」と述べた。
　巨大ＩＴ企業の米フェイスブックによる暗号資産（仮想通貨）「リブラ」などの展開をめぐっては、「法律・規制・監督上の要件に十分に対応するまではサービスを開始すべきではない」とけん制した。（2020/10/14-00:02）

Top finance and monetary officials of the Group of Seven major industrial nations have sought to ensure the transparency of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
   "Confidence in the stability of domestic payment systems and the international monetary system is underpinned by credible and longstanding public sector commitments to transparency, the rule of law and sound economic governance," the G-7 finance ministers and central bank chiefs said in a joint statement on digital payments issued after their videoconference on Tuesday.
   By saying this, the G-7 officials suggested that CBDCs should meet these conditions.
   "We need to call attention to CBDCs" that do not meet the required conditions, Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso told a press conference, apparently referring to an official Chinese digital yuan, whose pilot runs were launched recently.
   On Facebook Inc.'s proposed cryptocurrency, Libra, and other similar projects, the G-7 statement said, "No global stablecoin project should begin operation until it adequately addresses relevant legal, regulatory and oversight requirements through appropriate design and by adhering to applicable standards."
