The French central bank plans to collaborate with private companies in rolling out a central bank digital currency (CBDC) for institutional and retail clients. The bank issued policy recommendations that could support the country’s central bank’s launch of the central bank today (Friday).
The French central bank has been experimenting with wholesale CBDCs since 2020. A wholesale CBDC is a digital representation of currency issued by a central bank to institutions, while a retail CBDC is intended for everyday use by consumers. Currently, the Bank of France is studying the feasibility of issuing a wholesale central bank digital currency on a distributed digital ledger.
In addition, the foundation proposed interoperability between traditional financial institution systems and CBDC-enabled distributed ledger platforms. Besides, the foundation wants the technology around the digital assets to be energy efficient to prevent any negative impact on the environment.
Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, has similar views on the interoperability of networks that support CBDCs. In a report released by Finance Magnates in June, the head of the IMF revealed that the institution was working on a global digital currency infrastructure for central banks.
In addition, the experiments conducted by the Bank of France aim to evaluate coding

Tokenization is the process of replacing a sensitive data element with an insensitive equivalent, i.e. a token, which does not carry any external or exploitable value or meaning. In essence, the equity of an asset is converted into a digital token. Markup can be used to own a whole unit of an asset. For example, one token representing ownership of a piece of real estate or to divide ownership of one unit out of an asset like 200,000 tokens, each represented by

Moreover, according to Thursday’s report, the Bank of France is exploring how to offer a wide range of financial services, including government bonds, through central bank digital currencies, which cannot be settled through TARGET services offered in the eurozone.

Commenting on the latest report, Emmanuel Assouane, Deputy Director General for Financial Stability and Operations at Banque de France, said: “These twelve trials, successfully conducted with our partners, central banks and commercial banks, in a public-private partnership, have provided us with the assurance that CBDCs can be introduced in token form to improve cross-border payments.”
Similarly, about three weeks ago, the central bank of Singapore, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), published a report on guidelines for creating interoperable networks for digital assets. The report is part of the measures MAS takes to ensure digital assets are secure and efficient.
