Facebook executive David Marcus on Sunday tried to calm the fears of officials threatening to block its proposed digital currency, saying Libra won't be controlled by a single company.
Marcus said it has been"very clear to us from the very beginning that a payment networks such as the Libra network shouldn't be controlled by one company." He added that the Libra Association -- comprised of 21 companies -- will"welcome competition to benefit local access and strive for the lowest cost possible for consumers."Central banks and government finance officials have long worried about the challenges posed by digital currencies, and the risk they can be used for money laundering and financing terrorism.
But Le Maire told reporters on the sidelines of the annual meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in Washington last week that European governments"will not allow a private company to have the same power, the same monetary power as sovereign states," and will take steps to block Libra from Europe.
