IMF Urges El Salvador Again to Narrow the Scope of the Bitcoin Law and Strengthen the Regulatory Framework

El Salvador should narrow the scope of its bitcoin law and bolster the regulatory framework and oversight of the bitcoin ecosystem, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Tuesday.

IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack also said during a press conference that the IMF recommended El Salvador limit public sector exposure to bitcoin, according to a report by Reuters.

This isn't the first time the IMF has cautioned El Salvador. Most recently, the IMF said something similar in August, stating in a press release that “while many of the risks have not yet materialized, there is joint recognition that further efforts are needed to enhance transparency and mitigate potential fiscal and financial stability risks from the Bitcoin project.” At the time, the IMF also said that “additional discussions in this and other key areas remain necessary.”

In fact, El Salvador and the IMF have been going back and forth over bitcoin for years. In November 2021, the IMF said that bitcoin shouldn't be used as legal tender in El Salvador and urged the Central American nation to strengthen the regulation and supervision of that ecosystem, which it again called for in January 2022.

El Salvador made bitcoin legal tender in September 2021, becoming the first country in the world to do so. It currently holds 5892 BTC, which is worth around $345 million at today's prices.

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele recently said that his plan to make the country a hub for the largest and oldest cryptocurrency has been “net positive” overall, but that adoption has fallen short of his expectations.

In its presentation on Thursday, the IMF also praised Bukele's 2025 budget proposal, which would make the country debt-free.

本站6月19日消息,国际货币基金组织IMF近日在一份报告中表示,不建议对生成式AI直接征收特别税,但各国需针对AI发展全方位调整自身税收制度,在AI发展和保护劳动力中取得平衡。IMF认为,直接对生成式AI征收特别税来缓解这一最具颠覆性的“自动化工具”对劳动力市场的冲击在实践中并不可行,同时还会阻碍社会生产力的发展。各经济体需要将针对生成式AI的税收政策调整扩展到更广义的“自动化投资”领域。▲图源IMF官网部分发达经济体对旨在取代劳动力的自动化投资给予了过高的税收激励,需要重新考虑对这方面投资的支
