NYC, Dec 19  – When the IMF held its press briefing on December 19, Inner City Press was able to ask the spokesperson two questions:  on crypto currency and El Salvador, and on possible changes to the IMF's program with Ghana, after the election. Transcript coming.

  On El Salvador the IMF spokesperson said that in the new program Bitcoin acceptance by businesses will be voluntary. But what about not being able to pay taxes in crypto?


On Ghana, she said the IMF works with the elected officials and programs are reviewed, the focus is still macro economic stability AND debt sustainability. Video coming; will be transcribed on the IMF website.
