Photograph: Marco Bertorello\/AFP\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Libra is designed to be backed by a basket of currency assets to avoid the wild swings experienced by bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It is expected to launch in the first half of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other cryptocurrencies, which are not controlled by a central authority, Libra will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2019\/jun\/23\/libra-cryptocurrency-dare-you-trust-facebook-with-your-money\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" class=\"u-underline\">not be decentralised<\/a>, but will be entrusted to a Swiss-based association of major technology and financial services companies. Besides Facebook, backers of Libra include the payment companies Visa, MasterCard and PayPal, and the ride-hailing apps Lyft and Uber.<\/p>\n<p>In a forthright attack on the dangers posed by a digital currency controlled by big companies, Le Maire said: \u201cThe monetary sovereignty of countries is at stake from a possible privatisation of money \u2026 by a sole actor with more than 2 billion users on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among regulators\u2019 concerns around the world is the possibility that Libra could help people abandon national currencies in times of crisis, <a

Editorial<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, gave Libra a cool reception in June, saying Threadneedle Street would approach the digital currency with \u201can open mind but not an open door\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He said the digital currency would have to meet the highest standards of prudential regulation and consumer protection, and address issues such as money laundering and data protection.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook has promoted Libra as an opportunity to provide low-cost online commerce and financial services to more than a billion \u201cunbanked\u201d people \u2013 adults without bank accounts or those who use services outside the banking system such as payday loans.<\/p>\n<p>Libra, and the Calibra digital wallet that would accompany it, promises to give Facebook opportunities eventually to build financial services into its offerings and to allow more small businesses to buy ads on the social network.<\/p>\n<p>Officials have raised concerns, however, about how the currency would be regulated, particularly how it would comply with regulations designed to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Dante Disparte, the head of policy and communications at the Libra Association, the non-profit organisation developing the currency, said Le Maire\u2019s comments underscored the importance of the project\u2019s backers working together with regulators around the world.<\/p>\n<p>He said the association wanted to work with regulators to achieve a \u201csafe, transparent and consumer-focused implementation of the Libra project\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies, he said: \u201cWe recognise that <a
