The central bank of France plans to collaborate with private companies in the launch of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) for institutional and retail clients. The bank issued recommendations for policies that could support the launch of the CBDC in the country today (Friday).
The central bank of France has been experimenting with wholesale CBDC since 2020. Wholesale CBDC is a digital representation of the currency issued by a central bank to institutions, while retail CBDC is intended for everyday use by consumers. Currently, the Bank of France is studying the feasibility of issuing wholesale CBDC on a distributed digital ledger.
Additionally, the institution proposed interoperability between the systems of the traditional financial institutions and the distributed ledger platforms supporting the CBDC. In addition to that, the institution wants the technology around the digital asset to be energy efficient to prevent any negative impact on the environment.
The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, has similar views on the interoperability of the networks supporting CBDCs. In a report by Finance Magnates in June, the IMF chief revealed that the institution is working on a global infrastructure for CBDCs.
Additionally, the experiments carried out by the Bank of France aim to evaluate the tokenization
Tokenization
Tokenization represents the process of replacing a sensitive data element with a non-sensitive equivalent, ie a token that carries no external or exploitable meaning or value. Essentially, the rights to the ownership of an asset are converted into a digital token. Tokenization can be used to own an entire unit of an asset. For example, one token that represents the ownership of a piece of real estate or share the ownership of a single unit of value as 200,000 tokens, each represents.

In addition, according to Thursday’s report, the Bank of France is investigating how to offer a wider range of financial services, including government bonds through CBDCs, which cannot be settled through the TARGET services offered in the Eurozone. CELO services are the financial services that cover securities trading and payments
Payments
One of the bases of exchange in the modern world, payment constitutes the transfer of legal currency or equivalent from one party in exchange for goods or services to another entity. The payments industry has become a fixture of modern business, although the players involved and mediums of exchange have changed dramatically over time. In particular, a party making a payment is referred to as a payee, where the payee reflects the individual or entity receiving the payment. most common

Commenting on the latest report, Emmanuelle Assouan, the deputy director general for financial stability and operations at the Bank of France, said: “These twelve experiments, which have been carried out successfully with our partners, central banks and commercial banks, in a public private partnership, have provided us with the assurance that CBDCs can be offered in token form to improve cross-border payments.”
Similarly, about three weeks ago, Singapore’s central bank, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), released a report on the guidelines for creating interoperable networks for digital assets. The report is part of the measures the MAS is taking to ensure that digital assets are safe and effective.
