"At Osaka G20 that Japan hosted last year, we put digital payment as a priority agenda. The global stable coin - we should not start the service for that until we fully respond to any possible risks," said Aso. Kuroda said some rules they listed have to be abided by not only G7, but also other countries if they want to issue CBDC in order to "secure transparency and rule of law and healthy economic governance." "Otherwise, it could affect global financial system and cause some issues. We warned of such points today," said Kuroda.
