    Libra, a digital currency that is still surrounded by questions

    Summary

    The announcement of the launch of Libra, the digital currency that Facebook plans to implement, has sparked interest, concern and, above all, great uncertainty about its viability as a business and its financial and social impact.

    Key points

    • Key points:
    • This uncertainty can be conveyed in the form of three key questions: How convertible, how well supported and how well regulated would Libra be?
