萨尔瓦多将改变其比特币项目，作为 1.4B 美元国际货币基金组织协议的一部分

国际货币基金组织（IMF）周三（12 月 18 日）表示，萨尔瓦多将改变其比特币项目，作为 14 亿美元扩展基金安排（EFF）员工级别协议的一部分。

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced Wednesday (Dec. 18) that El Salvador will adjust its bitcoin project under a staff-level agreement for a $1.4 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF).

国际货币基金组织（IMF）周三（12月18日）宣布，萨尔瓦多将根据一项员工级别协议调整其比特币项目，以获得14亿美元的扩展基金贷款（EFF）。

“The potential risks of the Bitcoin project will be diminished significantly in line with Fund policies,” the organization said in a press release.

该组织在一份新闻稿中表示：“根据基金组织的政策，比特币项目的潜在风险将大大降低。”

As part of the agreement, bitcoin will no longer be accepted by the private sector, and the public sector’s participation in bitcoin-related activities will be “confined,” according to the press release. The government will also gradually end its participation in the Chivo crypto eWallet.

据新闻稿称，作为协议的一部分，比特币将不再被私营部门接受，公共部门参与比特币相关活动将受到“限制”。政府还将逐步停止参与 Chivo 加密电子钱包。

“Transparency, regulation and supervision of digital assets will be enhanced to safeguard financial stability, consumer and investor protection, and financial integrity,” the press release said.

新闻稿称：“将加强数字资产的透明度、监管和监督，以维护金融稳定、消费者和投资者保护以及金融诚信。”

Other elements of the program include reducing the ratio of public debt to GDP, strengthening fiscal transparency, governance and resilience, and enhancing fiscal and financial sector buffers, per the press release.

根据新闻稿，该计划的其他内容包括降低公共债务与国内生产总值的比率，加强财政透明度、治理和弹性，以及增强财政和金融部门的缓冲。

The agreement is subject to approval by the IMF executive board, the press release said. The board is expected to consider the program by early February.

新闻稿称，该协议尚需获得国际货币基金组织执行董事会的批准。预计董事会将在二月初审议该计划。

El Salvador became the world’s first country to accept bitcoin as legal tender on Sept. 7, 2021, with bitcoin being accepted like cash and working in conjunction with the U.S. dollar, PYMNTS reported at the time.

据 PYMNTS 当时报道，萨尔瓦多于 2021 年 9 月 7 日成为世界上第一个接受比特币作为法定货币的国家，比特币像现金一样被接受，并与美元结合使用。

When announcing the law in June 2021, President Nayib Bukele said he expected that adopting bitcoin as legal currency would help boost job creation and bring about financial inclusion.

总统纳伊布·布克莱 (Nayib Bukele) 在 2021 年 6 月宣布该法律时表示，他预计采用比特币作为法定货币将有助于促进创造就业机会并实现金融包容性。

The country also launched the Chivo digital wallet with $30 for each resident who downloaded it.

该国还推出了 Chivo 数字钱包，每位下载该钱包的居民可获赠 30 美元。

One year into the bitcoin experiment, in September 2022, there was an impasse between the Bukele administration and the IMF, which had refused to continue discussing a planned $1.3 billion loan that would have allowed the country to pay off a $1 billion Eurobond payment.

比特币实验进行一年后，也就是 2022 年 9 月，布克莱政府和国际货币基金组织之间陷入了僵局，国际货币基金组织拒绝继续讨论计划中的 13 亿美元贷款，该贷款本可以让该国偿还 10 亿美元的欧洲债券付款。

Bitcoin use didn’t take off among the people of El Salvador, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Wednesday. When the government spent more than $200 million on its 2001 rollout of the digital wallet with $30 of free bitcoin, most people used it to buy goods or exchange for dollars, according to the report.

据《华尔街日报》周三报道，萨尔瓦多人民对比特币的使用并未普及。报告称，当政府在 2001 年花费超过 2 亿美元推出包含 30 美元免费比特币的数字钱包时，大多数人用它来购买商品或兑换美元。
