TOKYO (Reuters) – Financial leaders from the Group of Seven advanced economies will hold a teleconference later on Tuesday to issue a joint communique, Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said.
Aso, speaking to reporters after a cabinet meeting, declined to comment when asked about a Reuters report that the G7 would oppose the launch of Facebook’s <FB.O> Libra stablecoin until it is properly regulated.
Aso said he and Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda would jointly brief media after the G7 teleconference.
