“They’re a mechanism for dollarizing the world and implementing a worldwide central financial institution digital forex on high of their particular drawing rights, to allow them to preserve management of their mechanisms.”
El Salvador is presently present process a restructuring. They’re attempting to construct a sovereign economic system that gives a rise in worth, not like the fiat-based funding choices, and is free from the IMF’s debt cycle.
