El Salvador Rejects IMF Demands on Bitcoin
El Salvador officials directly rejected the order of the International Monetary Fund and supported bitcoin fully with confidence.
El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as a legal currency on 7 September 2021 but the country faced huge criticism with its decision. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised its voice against El Salvador many times directly and indirectly. Last week the IMF directly urged the government of El Salvador to revoke the position of Bitcoin as Currency.
Alejandro Zelaya, Minister of Finance, clearly stated that the country will not revoke its plans with bitcoin and also will always support Bitcoin, during an appearance on a local TV station.
Alejandro stated:
“no international organization is going to make us do anything…()…countries are sovereign nations and they make sovereign decisions about public policy.”
Through the statement, Alejandra noted that El Salvador is an independent country and it is independent to go with its own decisions and policies to create for itself.
