France and South Korea Deepen Digital Economy Talks Amid Stablecoin Regulatory Delays
Delegates from France and South Korea convened in Seoul for a two-day seminar on the evolving global digital economy. The meeting follows French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit, where both nations committed to strengthening economic ties. The Bank of Korea (BOK) and Banque de France (BdF) are focusing on three key areas: stablecoins’ impact on monetary systems, shifting roles of central banks in tokenized finance, and climate-driven inflation risks.
Meanwhile, South Korea’s stablecoin regulation remains stalled, forcing local firms to rely on partnerships with international central banks and foreign-focused stablecoin services. The French delegation, led by Deputy Governor Agnès Bénassy-Quéré, emphasized cross-border CBDC collaboration—a growing trend among G20 central banks.
