The presidential candidate of Unión por la Patria, Sergio Massapointed out on C5N that will immediately send to Congress he project of a new digital currency which he announced during the course of the presidential debate celebrated on Sunday night. “We are going to launch the Argentine digital currency”Massa said.
“The digitalized economy also breaks pockets of corruption because it is the most frank and harsh limit that can be placed on corruption. “I am going to send, shortly, the law that creates the Argentine Digital Currency to Congress because there are more than 100 countries that are already doing it.”expressed the official in dialogue with Jorge Rial in Argenzuela.
The minister said that Norway and Sweden are the known and successful models regarding the implementation of a digital currency but he pointed out that in the region, countries such as Brazil They are already implementing the measure.
“With Brazil we have a lot of bilateral trade, a lot of complementary and synergistic work and we have to have a common vision and Mercosur in that sense is central,” he indicated.
Massa’s intention is for the project to come out on par with that of money laundering which already has an opinion in Deputies but does not yet have the votes to be discussed. It will come “a money laundering law that allows those who have money abroad to bring it and use it freely without new taxes,” he explained.
In this regard, he stated that “The opposition “does not want to vote” in the National Congress on this money laundering that I propose so that it is not known who are the citizens who have accounts in the United States, based on an agreement sealed between that country and Argentina.”
Massa explained that his money laundering initiative is accompanied by an agreement sealed with the United States that allows Argentina “access to all the information of those who have an account” in the Northern country and, therefore, -he said- ” There are many (legislators) who do not want to.”
Capitanich’s endorsement of digital currency
One of the first leaders who came out to support Sergio Massa’s statements was the governor of the province of Chaco, Jorge Capitanich, who pointed out that “Sergio was very clear on economic matters in the presidential debate” and highlighted the proposals to launch a digital currency and promote new money laundering.
“It is vitally important for our country to generate a monetary regime that provides macroeconomic stability; it is necessary to have a holistic, systemic and comprehensive economic plan,” Capitanich said through the social network X (formerly Twitter).
He argued that in Argentina “a legal and mandatory digital currency regime” is needed, and considered that, for this, it is necessary to have “a multi-monetary regime, which can be transferred in any currency, and that these possibilities are included within the financial circuit”.
