Officials stressed that the pace of development of private payment systems is “highly uncertain”, the NBK opposes monopolies and “irregular capital increases” and that globally stable currencies, international monetary systems, and payment and payment systems can pose risks and challenges.
The government of china is limiting the expansion globally of steel coins. The vice president said that they will have the same restrictions that Alibaba`s Ant Group had on other institutions in the payment industry.
