国际货币基金组织因比特币担忧而权衡向萨尔瓦多提供资金

国际货币基金组织正在与萨尔瓦多讨论一项潜在的“国际货币基金组织支持的计划”。然而，讨论取决于萨尔瓦多解决与比特币相关的风险，这是对话的一个关键要素。尽管国际货币基金组织之前就比特币相关风险发出了警告，但萨尔瓦多仍然每天都在积累比特币。

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

国际货币基金组织与萨尔瓦多就比特币担忧中的潜在融资计划进行接触

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.

华盛顿特区 - 国际货币基金组织（IMF）已开始与萨尔瓦多就潜在的财政援助计划进行讨论。然而，该基金强调需要解决与该国采用比特币作为法定货币有关的担忧。

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.

在最近的新闻发布会上，国际货币基金组织通讯部代表朱莉·科扎克承认，该基金正在与萨尔瓦多当局进行建设性接触，努力就国际货币基金组织支持的计划达成协议。她强调，讨论的重点是旨在增强萨尔瓦多外部可持续性、促进生产力增长和加强经济治理的政策。

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.

科扎克明确表示，比特币是一个讨论话题，强调了与加密货币相关的风险。 “解决比特币带来的风险是我们与（萨尔瓦多）当局讨论的一个关键要素，”她强调。

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.

国际货币基金组织与萨尔瓦多进行接触一年前，国际货币基金组织就广泛采用比特币的潜在风险向该国发出警告。该基金警告说，虽然由于当时比特币的使用有限，风险尚未显现，但加密货币的法定货币地位和政府促进其使用的努力可能会导致其采用率增加。

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.

尽管国际货币基金组织早些时候发出警告，萨尔瓦多在总统纳伊布·布克莱的领导下，仍在继续积累比特币，每天向其国库增加大约一枚比特币。链上数据证实该国一直恪守每日购买比特币的承诺。

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.

上个月，总统布克莱透露，萨尔瓦多已将价值约 4 亿美元的比特币转移到冷钱包中。值得注意的是，此次转移恰逢加密货币价格上涨时期，该加密货币于 2021 年 11 月达到 73,000 美元的历史新高。

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.

虽然国际货币基金组织承认萨尔瓦多近期在建筑活动、旅游业和汇款的推动下实现了经济增长，但它也强调了在提供金融支持之前解决比特币相关风险的重要性。国际货币基金组织的立场凸显了围绕使用加密货币作为法定货币的持续争论及其对经济稳定和金融监管带来的挑战。

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.

随着国际货币基金组织继续与萨尔瓦多进行谈判，预计比特币仍将是讨论的焦点。这些讨论的结果将对萨尔瓦多的经济未来和加密货币采用的全球格局产生重大影响。
