As revealed on Thursday by the International Monetary Fund, the megbeszélések between the authorities of El Salvador and IMF are continuing. The concerns of the fund are regarding the move of the Central American country to accept Bitcoin as a legit tender remain.

IMF and El Salvador Authorities Discussions Over Bitcoin Acceptance

Gerry Rice, a spokesperson for IMF revealed the details regarding the discussions and said:

“The discussions between our staff and the authorities in El Salvador on potential support from the IMF… are continuing, and that the Fund sees macroeconomic, financial and legal issues with the bitcoin adoption that require careful analysis.”

In addition to this, it should be noted that the President of El Salvador is highly in favor of the flagship currency acceptance in the country and says that nothing can stop Bitcoin from witnessing broad acceptance in the country.

In a recent Podcast, Bukele elnök kiderült:

“I don’t see anything stopping it. Everything about humans can be stopped. But I just don’t see how. It’s law, the government is working 24/7 in going to effect in 80 days.”

The reaction of IMF and World Bank on Legalising Bitcoin

In a sudden response to the El Salvador President’s statement, the IMF raised concerns that the legit tender acceptance of Bitcoin would interfere with the present negotiations for a loan worth $1 billion.

A spokesperson of the World Bank mentioned their inability to help due to the rising environmental and transparency concerns of Bitcoin and said:

"Bár a kormány valóban megkeresett minket a bitcoinért, a Világbank a környezeti és átláthatósági hiányosságok miatt ezt nem tudja támogatni."

Adding further in the favor of Bitcoin, President Bukele said:

„Ne feledje, hogy a Bitcoin önmagában működik, tehát nem mintha ez attól függ, mit csinálunk. De természetesen azok a dolgok, amelyeket csinálunk, tudják, hogy megvédik a döntést, és garantálják, hogy több haszon lesz az emberek számára. ”
