Are the central banks of Latin America heading for the issuance of their own cryptocurrencies?

It seems that the creation of cryptocurrencies by governments is becoming more frequent every day, in fact I recently learned that in the case of Latin America, Uruguay already issues its own digital currency in the pilot phase: “ePeso”

There is also the case of Chile, where a government official spoke during "OECD's Global Blockchain Policy Forum" about the possibilities of digital currencies issued by central banks as beneficial. The bad thing, rather, what does not convince me, is that in countries that I have mentioned, we work with the idea of doing everything without the use of Blockchain.

They assume that trust is inherent in the institution that issues the currency, even in cases where it is a cryptocurrency ... I don't know how to explain that if I trusted the politicians who run the economy of my country, I wouldn't need anything that will take away their control and place it on a blockchain that would not allow them to cause disasters.

Maybe my ideas are because I am in Venezuela and here the economic policies of the last decades have been destructive, as if we were going through a war over, but maybe in these countries of the previous paragraph things with their politicians are not so disastrous … I hope so.
