International Monetary Fund flags debt restructuring hurdles, says banning crypto should be an option

Firstpost  

Bengaluru: Group of 20 nations have some disagreements over restructuring debt for distressed economies, the chief of the International Monetary Fund said on Saturday, adding that banning private cryptocurrencies should be an option. “On debt restructuring, while there are still some disagreements, we now have the global sovereign debt roundtable with consideration of all public and private creditors,” IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva told reporters after chairing the roundtable with Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. “We look forward to participating in it.” Crypto Restrictions Apart from restructuring debt, regulating cryptocurrencies is another priority area for India, which Georgieva agreed with. “There has to be a very strong push for regulation… if regulation fails, if you’re slow to do it, then we should not take off the table banning those assets, because they may create financial stability risk.” Yellen said she had not suggested the “outright banning of crypto activities, but it was critical to put in place a strong regulatory framework.” Read all the Latest News, Trending News, Cricket News, Bollywood News, India News and Entertainment News here.
