“It is digital that moves help to people, investment and ability of the economy to accelerate,”
Georgieva said, citing digital cash transfers in the African nation of Togo put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
She called for comprehensive national strategies for financial inclusion. Remember, the IMF’s Synthesis paper — jointly prepared with the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) — advocated for comprehensive oversight of crypto instead of a blanket ban.
