Introduction

Since the last Conference of the ILA, held in Sydney, Australia, in August 2018, the Committee (better known by its acronym, MOCOMILA) has continued its study of the legal aspects of money, payments, currency, and financial stability. Specifically, the Committee held two meetings: in Hong Kong, SAR, China (26-27 April 2019), and Basel, Switzerland (15-16 November 2019). MOCOMILA had a third meeting planned in Luxembourg for 20-21 March 2020, which unfortunately had to be cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The subjects of the foregoing meetings and other topics discussed by the Committee are reflected in the following sections of this report.
