G-7 finance ministers reportedly held discussions on the regulation of cryptocurrencies prior to the upcoming Japan summit. The representatives expressed their commitment to adhering to the standards established by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) regarding crypto assets and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
FSB will be providing final recommendations by July 2023 and pledged to implement effective regulatory frameworks for crypto assets and stablecoin arrangements in accordance with the appropriate guidance and standards established by standard-setting bodies (SSBs).
Many also expressed their support for the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and its efforts to expedite the global implementation of the travel rule, which mandates the exchange of information on fund transfers between financial institutions both domestically and internationally.
Everyone involved is eagerly awaiting the progress report by the FATF on the travel rule implementation due to the increasing threats posed by illicit activities like money laundering and terrorist financing, among others.
Furthermore, the IMF will be providing its own recommendations on CBDCs, to be published later this year and discussed during the upcoming summit. The G-7 consists of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, with additional representatives from the European Union, Australia, India, and other jurisdictions invited to participate in the event.
