The Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire announced on Monday that the country is creating a “digital currencies mission” and a working group led by Jean-Pierre Landau, the former BOF deputy governor, that will study digital currencies while also proposing regulatory standards.

According to the announcement, Jean-Pierre Landau’s mission will be responsible for proposing guidelines on the evolution of regulations and to better control development and prevent their use for the purpose of tax evasion, money laundering or for financing criminal activities and terrorism.
