IMF says it continues to have strong engagement with El Salvador

The International Monetary Fund's board on Friday said that it continued to have strong engagement with El Salvador and that no determination had been made on whether it could lend to the country which has made the cryptocurrency bitcoin legal tender.

On Tuesday, the IMF's board "urged" El Salvador to reverse its decision to make bitcoin a legal tender, while calling for strict regulation of the country's e-wallet.
