This April 2016 issue of International Financial Statistics (IFS) is a standard source of statistics on all aspects of international and domestic finance. The IMF publishes calculated effective exchange rates data only for countries that have given their approval. The IMF cannot allocate SDRs to itself but receives them from members through various financial transactions and operations. Entities authorized to conduct transactions in SDRs are the IMF itself, participants in the SDR Department, and other “prescribed holders.” The IMF quota increase under the Fourteenth General Review of Quotas became effective recently. The details regarding the associated change can be found in the IMF Press Release No. 16/25, dated January 27, 2016. The effect of quota payments is reflected in the following Fund Accounts for those members that have made their quota payments: Quota, Reserve Tranche Position, Fund Holdings of Currency, SDR Holdings. It is also reflected in the international liquidity and central bank data.

This paper focuses on composition of the basket that was changed on the basis of updated data for 1972–1976. The weights of some currencies were also changed. The amount of each of the 16 currencies in the revised basket was such as to ensure that the value of the Special Drawing Right (SDR) in terms of any currency on June 30, 1978 was exactly the same in the revised valuation as in the previous valuation. Since January 1, 1981, the value of the SDR has been determined based on the currencies of the five member countries having the largest exports of goods and services during the 5-year period ending one year before the date of the latest revision to the valuation basket. Broadly reflecting the currencies’ relative importance in international trade and finance, the weights are based on the value of the exports of goods and services of the members issuing these currencies and the balances of their currencies officially held by members of the IMF.

The June 2016 issue of International Financial Statistics (IFS) is a standard source of statistics on all aspects of international and domestic finance. IFS publishes, for most countries of the world, current data on exchange rates, international liquidity, international banking, money and banking, interest rates, prices, production, international transactions (including balance of payments and international investment position), government finance, and national accounts. The country table notes in the monthly issues identify the exchange rates used. Quotas are reviewed at intervals of not more than five years. The reviews take account of changes in the relative economic positions of members and the growth of the world economy. The IMF normally determines the currencies that are used in transactions and operations with members. Each quarter, the IMF prepares a financial transactions plan, in which it indicates the amounts of currencies and SDRs to be used during the relevant period.
