According to the German publication Der Spiegel, in addition to the US dollar, the Libra basket will include the euro, yen, Britishpound and Singapore dollar.
Note that the Chinese yuan was not included in this list, which may be due to tense trade relations between the United States and China.
A percentage breakdown was presented in a letter to German lawmaker and former member of the European Parliament Fabio De Masi, who is critical of Facebook’s digital brainchild.
Let us recall that earlier US regulators expressedconcerns about this initiative, while the French finance minister announced a possible blocking of the Libra project. The European Central Bank board member also warned of threats posed by a possible loss of economic sovereignty and control over monetary policy.
Chinese authorities also view the currency asit is developing a direct threat and is developing its own digital currency (CBDC) to solve the problem set by Libra, although the structure proposed by the People's Bank of China (PBoC) suggests a more illustrious payment system than a true cryptocurrency.
