“I believe that we will have the ability to utilize such innovations to improve the socio-economic conditions experienced by too many individuals and families who are living in precarity or vulnerability,” President Coleiro Preca said.
During the event, organized by Blockchain Charity Foundation, Women Political Leaders Global Forum and the Finance Center for South-South Cooperation entitled “Blockchain for Social Good: Utilizing Blockchain to aid Economic Development,” she expressed strong belief in Blockchain’s transparency and accountability.
The President said, that the technology can potentially develop the ways in which businesses gather, access and share information, putting more trust and solidarity in the various “socio-economic interactions.”
“This is what real justice and effective social solidarity is all about,” the President said.
