As per a report, the director of Banco Central de la Republica Argentina, the country’s central bank, Juan Agustín D’Attellis Noguera <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbraILapKn8" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">shared his opinion on the Filo News channel</a>, stating that the concerted effort reflects a strategic alignment between economic leadership and technological innovation, positioning the digital peso as a key instrument for bolstering economic stability and enhancing tax collection mechanism.
Likewise, Noguera believes the introduction of a digital peso could contribute to the stabilization of the Argentine economy as early as 2024. Meanwhile, Massa committed that he would implement the digital peso as soon as he emerged victorious in the forthcoming presidential election. The introduction of a digital peso holds the potential to revolutionize Argentina’s monetary system, providing a dynamic alternative to traditional currency frameworks.

Notably, this move resonates with the broader international trend where nations are actively exploring CBDC as a means of embracing the digital future of finance. The digital peso is not merely a technological upgrade but a strategic tool for achieving economic stability.
By leveraging digital currency, Argentina aims to enhance financial inclusion, reduce transaction costs, and create a more transparent and efficient financial ecosystem. Additionally, one of the primary motivations behind the digital peso initiative is to improve tax collection mechanisms.
Digital currencies offer a traceable and auditable trail of transactions, reducing opportunities for tax evasion. This aligns with the broader goal of creating a fair and accountable fiscal system, ensuring that the government can effectively mobilize resources for public services and infrastructure development.

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said that if CBDCs are launched merely for their domestic use, it would be an underutilization of their capacity. However, national cryptocurrencies promote financial inclusion and make remittances cheaper.&nbsp;
