The governor of the Financial institution of Central African States (Banque des États de l’Afrique Centrale, BEAC) has issued a scathing letter to the Central African Republic (CAR) concerning the nation’s adoption of cryptocurrencies.

In a letter addressed to the CAR Finance Minister Hervé Ndoba, the Governor of the BEAC Abbas Mahamat Tolli describes the “substantial adverse impression” that the CAR adopting crypto may have on the financial union of Central Africa.
