Bonitetna ocena El Salvadorja bi lahko bila sprejeta zaradi sprejetja Bitcoina, opozarja S&P Global

Credit rating agency Standard and Poor (S&P) Global believes the country of El Salvador has severely harmed its credit rating after enacting its Bitcoin Law recognizing Bitcoin (BTC) as legal tender nationwide on Sept. 7.

Glede na poročilo from Reuters Thursday, El Salvador’s Bitcoin embrace exposes its economy to significant financial risks and could pose challenges for the country’s lending industry.

The credit agency also believes the move could also dampen El Salvador’s chances of securing a $1-billion loan agreement it is seeking from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

"Zdi se, da tveganja, povezana s sprejetjem bitcoina kot zakonitega plačilnega sredstva v Salvadorju, odtehtajo njegove potencialne koristi," je dejal S&P in poudaril "takojšnje negativne posledice" zakona o bitcoinih za bonitetno oceno države.

Mednarodne bonitetne agencije ponujajo mračne napovedi za uvrstitev El Salvadorja sredi uvedbe BTC. 

Prior to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele announcing his intention for the country to recognize BTC as legal tender in June of this year, Fitch had stamped El Salvador with a B- in April 2020 — assessing the country as high risk with a negative outlook.

S&P’s last assessed El Salvador’s credit score as being a B- as of Dec. 28, 2018, suggesting it may be due for an update, given the dramatic shift in the nation’s monetary policy.

While President Bukele vzdržuje high approval ratings among the Salvadoran populace, his leadership and government have soočena z vdoru for enacting the Bitcoin Law despite the country’s low rates of crypto literacy.

Svojim prijateljem v angleško govorečem Twitterju: 15. 9. 21 El Salvador ni praznoval 200 let neodvisnosti. Namesto tega smo napolnili ulice, da bi protestirali proti zlomu naše demokracije, pravne države in začetni diktaturi. Zato smo šli na pohod. #El15Marchamos pic.twitter.com/wyf1B4QzgZ

There also appears to be push back abroad from financial agencies, such as the World Bank and IMF, which have both reiterated cautious sentiments this month regarding the adoption of BTC kot zakonito plačilno sredstvo.

IMF spokesperson Gerry Rice stated in a press briefing on Thursday that while the fund is still in discussions with El Salvador over a potential support program, it hasn’t changed its stance that the consequences of BTC adoption could be “dire.”

»O potencialu programa MDS za Salvador se razpravlja. Tudi cilji tega so jasni: rast, finančna stabilnost itd. Glede posebnega vprašanja bitcoina mislim, da smo bili v svojih izjavah za javnost precej jasni, «je dejal Rice.

On Sept. 7, a World Bank spokesperson told Reuters that “while the government did approach us for assistance on Bitcoin, this is not something the World Bank can support given the environmental and transparency shortcomings.”
