Crypto Regulation To Be Taken Up At G20 Meeting

November 02, 2022

Nirmala Sitharaman, Finance Minister said “We have not come out with any plan to regulate digital assets.”

Adding to this she specified, “The agenda of cryptocurrency regulation will be brought in G20 Meeting”.

Speaking at ICREIR's 14th Annual G20 International Conference, Sitharaman said that no single country can regulate cryptocurrencies that remain in silos.

She stated that “You don’t know what the trail leads you to. So that regulation cannot be successful if any one country does it.”

This is why they are bringing all the members of the G20 on board to see how best it can be done.

The impact on middle-income countries is a key topic of the G20 presidency.

She detailed that pandemic has exacerbated debt situations in some countries & they need to rekindle the debate on the Sustainable Development Goals.
