I'm surprised and shocked that a country that is under development will be the first to do this.. I was expecting the U.S.A, CANADA or other developed countries to start the trend.
It's Welcome development, probably maybe some percentage of the people who are yet to own a bank account will key into this new reform in the financial sector.. it will also boost trust between the people and the government..
It will encourage more international trade flow with El Salvador and if it is well utilized will make other developing countries key into it..
