France takes a cautious attitude towards enhancing the global status of the Euro.

The French government is requesting an assessment of the economic risks associated with strengthening the international status of the euro. France supports the promotion of expanding the use of the euro, but hopes to have a deeper understanding of the costs that exporters will incur if the euro appreciates further against the US dollar. European ministers will discuss related measures, including enhancing European economic competitiveness, promoting strategic autonomy in the payment sector, especially through digital euro.
