El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on Sunday that the country will host delegates from 44 countries this week to discuss Bitcoin.
Bukele said in a series of tweets that delegates from 44 countries, consisting of 32 central banks and 12 financial authorities will meet in El Salvador to talk financial inclusion, economic digitization and the country’s famous Bitcoin adoption.
Delegates attending the talk appear to be from a mix of South American, African and South Asian countries.
Is El Salvador setting an example for emerging markets?
The country will host delegates from several countries, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Paraguay, Haiti, Madagascar, and Maldives.
A common trend among the countries attending the talk is also that most of them are from emerging or frontier markets, indicating a relatively small economic profile. These types of countries have also usually led the charge in crypto adoption.
