IMF Praises El Salvador's Economy as Bitcoin (BTC) Tensions Ease
23.12.2025 21:48
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has acknowledged significant economic progress in El Salvador, leading to a notable reduction in tensions regarding the country's controversial Bitcoin (BTC) holdings. In its latest assessment, the IMF commended the Salvadoran government for its fiscal discipline, reduction of public debt, and robust economic growth. This positive appraisal marks a shift from previous warnings about the financial risks associated with adopting Bitcoin as legal tender. Analysts suggest that the IMF's improved outlook could bolster investor confidence in the Central American nation's economic strategy, which remains uniquely tied to cryptocurrency. The easing of diplomatic pressures may pave the way for more constructive dialogue between El Salvador and international financial institutions on its Bitcoin policy.
