IMF và El Salvador đạt thỏa thuận cấp đội ngũ về các đợt xem xét EFF, giải quyết vấn đề nắm giữ bitcoin và ví Chivo

The ME News report states that on September 4 (UTC+8), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced it has reached a staff-level agreement with El Salvador on the second and third combined reviews of the extended fund facility (EFF) spanning 40 months. After approval by the Executive Board and completion of prerequisite actions, El Salvador will be eligible for an additional approximately $140 million (101.96 million SDRs). Regarding digital assets, the statement notes that public participation in El Salvador’s Chivo digital wallet has been significantly reduced, with majority ownership and operational control transferred to private operators, while the government retains only a minority stake; Bitcoin acquisitions since the first review have been verified through documentation as originating from private donations without using public resources; both parties have signed a memorandum of understanding on modernizing the legal and regulatory framework for digital assets and strengthening governance and risk management of crypto-assets in the public sector; it is expected that, beyond previously recorded donations, no further Bitcoin purchases will be made, and efforts are underway to enhance transparency of wallet holdings.
