Three areas of experimentation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Les candidats retenus ont propos\u00e9 des exp\u00e9rimentations qui doivent permettre  tout d\u2019abord d\u2019explorer de nouvelles modalit\u00e9s d\u2019\u00e9change d\u2019instruments financiers (hors crypto-actifs) contre une monnaie de banque centrale. Il s\u2019agit \u00e9galement de tester le r\u00e8glement en monnaie digitale de banque centrale afin d\u2019am\u00e9liorer les conditions d\u2019ex\u00e9cution des paiements transfronti\u00e8res et enfin, de revisiter les modalit\u00e9s de mise \u00e0 disposition de la monnaie de banque centrale.<\/p>\n

The Banque de France will begin work with each of the eight candidates in the coming days in order to carry out the experiments over the next few months.
