The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned El Salvador against using bitcoin as legal tender due to various risks associated with cryptocurrency.

IMF Says El Salvador Shouldn’t Use Bitcoin како правна понуда
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned El Salvador on Monday that the country should not use bitcoin as legal tender, citing various risks associated with the cryptocurrency.
El Salvador is the first country in the world to adopt bitcoin as легален тендер alongside the U.S. dollar which it has used for two decades. The country’s bitcoin law went into effect in September. Furthermore, El Salvador has купени 1,120 БТК, according to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele.
The IMF regularly undertakes Article IV missions to member countries to consult with government officials before they request to use its resources. The IMF explained that for El Salvador, “The adoption of bitcoin as legal tender, the regulation and supervision of bitcoin services providers, and e-wallet Chivo were also discussed.”
In its “Staff Concluding Statement of the 2021 Article IV Mission” for El Salvador, the IMF детални:
Дадено bitcoinвисоката нестабилност на цените, неговата употреба како законско средство за плаќање повлекува значителни ризици за заштитата на потрошувачите, финансискиот интегритет и финансиската стабилност. Неговата употреба, исто така, доведува до фискални непредвидени обврски. Поради тие ризици, bitcoin should not be used as a legal tender.
The IMF proceeded to recommend “narrowing the scope of the bitcoin law” and urged El Salvador to strengthen “the regulation and supervision of the new payment ecosystem.”
The recent statement from the IMF came one day after President Bukele announced a plan to build the world’s first bitcoin градот powered by a volcano and financed by bitcoin обврзници. Тој истакна дека нема да има даноци во bitcoin град освен данокот на додадена вредност (ДДВ).
“The plans to issue sovereign bonds and use the proceeds to buy bitcoin and fund infrastructure plans announced on November 20, occurred after the technical work of the mission concluded, and were not discussed with the authorities,” the IMF clarified.
Commenting on the IMF’s statement, Bukele said:
Although we obviously do not agree on some things, such as the adoption of bitcoin, the analysis it makes of our country is interesting.
