國際貨幣基金組織因比特幣擔憂而權衡向薩爾瓦多提供資金

國際貨幣基金組織正在與薩爾瓦多討論一項潛在的「國際貨幣基金組織支持的計畫」。然而，討論取決於薩爾瓦多解決與比特幣相關的風險，這是對話的關鍵要素。儘管國際貨幣基金組織先前就比特幣相關風險發出了警告，但薩爾瓦多仍然每天都在累積比特幣。

International Monetary Fund Engages with El Salvador on Potential Funding Program Amidst Bitcoin Concerns

國際貨幣基金組織與薩爾瓦多就比特幣擔憂中的潛在融資計劃進行接觸

Washington, D.C. - The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has initiated discussions with El Salvador regarding a potential financial assistance program. However, the fund has emphasized the need to address concerns related to the country's adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender.

華盛頓特區 - 國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）已開始與薩爾瓦多就潛在的財政援助計劃進行討論。然而，該基金強調需要解決與該國採用比特幣作為法定貨幣有關的擔憂。

During a recent press briefing, IMF Communications Department representative Julie Kozack acknowledged that the fund is engaging constructively with Salvadoran authorities in an effort to reach an agreement on an IMF-supported program. She highlighted that the discussions focus on policies aimed at enhancing El Salvador's external sustainability, promoting productivity growth, and strengthening economic governance.

在最近的新聞發布會上，國際貨幣基金組織通訊部代表朱莉·科扎克承認，該基金正在與薩爾瓦多當局進行建設性接觸，努力就國際貨幣基金組織支持的計劃達成協議。她強調，討論的重點是旨在增強薩爾瓦多外部永續性、促進生產力成長和加強經濟治理的政策。

Kozack explicitly stated that Bitcoin is a topic of discussion, underscoring the risks associated with the cryptocurrency. "Addressing risks arising from Bitcoin is a key element of our discussions with the [Salvadorian] authorities," she emphasized.

科扎克明確表示，比特幣是一個討論主題，強調了與加密貨幣相關的風險。 「解決比特幣帶來的風險是我們與（薩爾瓦多）當局討論的關鍵要素，」她強調。

The IMF's engagement with El Salvador comes a year after it issued a warning to the country regarding the potential risks of widespread Bitcoin adoption. The fund cautioned that while risks had not materialized due to limited Bitcoin usage at the time, the cryptocurrency's legal tender status and government efforts to promote its use could lead to an increase in its adoption.

國際貨幣基金組織與薩爾瓦多接觸一年前，國際貨幣基金組織就廣泛採用比特幣的潛在風險向該國發出警告。該基金警告說，雖然由於當時比特幣的使用有限，風險尚未顯現，但加密貨幣的法定貨幣地位和政府促進其使用的努力可能會導致其採用率增加。

Despite the IMF's earlier warnings, El Salvador, led by President Nayib Bukele, has continued to accumulate Bitcoin, adding approximately one Bitcoin to its treasury each day. On-chain data confirms that the country has been adhering to its commitment of daily Bitcoin purchases.

儘管國際貨幣基金組織早些時候發出警告，薩爾瓦多在總統納伊布·布克萊的領導下，仍在繼續累積比特幣，每天向其國庫增加約一枚比特幣。鏈上數據證實該國一直恪守每日購買比特幣的承諾。

Last month, President Bukele disclosed that El Salvador had transferred approximately $400 million worth of its Bitcoin holdings to a cold wallet. Notably, this transfer coincided with a period of price appreciation for the cryptocurrency, which reached a record high of $73,000 in November 2021.

上個月，總統布克萊透露，薩爾瓦多已將價值約 4 億美元的比特幣轉移到冷錢包。值得注意的是，此次轉移恰逢加密貨幣價格上漲時期，該加密貨幣於 2021 年 11 月達到 73,000 美元的歷史新高。

While the IMF has recognized El Salvador's recent economic growth, driven by construction activities, tourism, and remittances, it has also emphasized the importance of addressing Bitcoin-related risks before extending financial support. The IMF's stance underscores the ongoing debate surrounding the use of cryptocurrencies as legal tender and the challenges it poses to economic stability and financial regulation.

雖然國際貨幣基金組織承認薩爾瓦多近期在建築活動、旅遊業和匯款的推動下實現了經濟成長，但它也強調了在提供金融支持之前解決比特幣相關風險的重要性。國際貨幣基金組織的立場凸顯了圍繞使用加密貨幣作為法定貨幣的持續爭論及其對經濟穩定和金融監管帶來的挑戰。

As the IMF continues its negotiations with El Salvador, it is expected that Bitcoin will remain a central point of discussion. The outcome of these discussions will have significant implications for El Salvador's economic future and the global landscape of cryptocurrency adoption.

隨著國際貨幣基金組織繼續與薩爾瓦多進行談判，預計比特幣仍將是討論的焦點。這些討論的結果將對薩爾瓦多的經濟未來和加密貨幣採用的全球格局產生重大影響。
