This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper updates the outlook for the Fund’s income position for FY 2012. The overall outlook is broadly unchanged, with the FY 2012 net operational income now projected at SDR 500 million compared with the projection of SDR 482 million in April 2011. This primarily reflects additional lending activity, which is partially offset by lower implicit returns on the Fund’s interest-free resources owing to the prevailing interest rate environment.1 The actual outcome is subject to considerable uncertainty in light of conditions in the global economy, which could affect the timing and amounts of disbursements under current and potential new arrangements and the performance of the Investment Account (IA).

Book excerpt: Securing the recovery. The global recovery has been better than expected. The WEO projections see global output expanding by about 41⁄4 percent in 2010 and 2011. Extraordinary and coordinated policy intervention since the crisis has all but eliminated the risk of another Great Depression, laying the foundation for recovery. Nevertheless, the recovery is proceeding at varying speeds—it is tepid and policy-dependent in many advanced economies, but solid in most emerging and developing economies.

Download or read book Recent Fall in the SDR Interest Rate Implications and Proposed Amendments to Rule T 1 written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SDR interest rate is at historic lows. Under the current Rule T-1, the SDR interest rate is calculated as the weighted average of interest rate instruments in the SDR basket, and stood at just 3 basis points for the week of October 13th. Market rates could decline further, which could reduce the SDR interest rate to zero or negative levels under the formula of the current Rule T-1. However, there is no authority under the Articles of Agreement for the Fund to establish a zero or negative SDR interest rate. The wording of the relevant provisions in the Articles does not leave room for a zero or negative rate, and nothing in the legislative history of the First and Second Amendments suggests that zero or negative rates were ever contemplated. Negative SDR interest rates would also have adverse implications for the Fund’s finances. Moreover, very low SDR interest rates affect the functioning of the burden sharing mechanism for deferred charges. Under current Board decisions, the equal burden sharing, where creditors and debtors as a group generate equal amounts to cover deferred charges, requires a minimum positive SDR interest rate to operate. The SDR interest rate has now fallen below that minimum level. This paper proposes technical amendments to Rule T-1 and the burden sharing mechanism to address these issues. In particular, the paper proposes setting a 5 basis point floor on the SDR interest rate, changing the rounding rules on the SDR interest rate and the burden sharing adjustment, and reducing the 1 basis point minimum of the burden sharing adjustment to 0.1 basis point. These measures would preserve a minimal capacity of equal burden sharing aimed at protecting the Fund’s balance sheet, while limiting potential departures of the SDR interest rate from market interest rates.

This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 2008, the Executive Board adopted a package of measures to reform the Fund’s income model. This followed an intensive work program building on the recommendations of an independent committee appointed by the Managing Director to study options for sustainable long-term financing for the Fund. The resulting new income model aims to broaden the Fund’s income sources and reduce its reliance on lending income as the primary source of revenue. This new model includes: (i) creating an endowment funded with the profits from a limited sale of the Fund’s gold holdings; (ii) expanding the Fund’s investment authority to enhance the expected return on the Fund’s investments; and (iii) resuming the practice of reimbursing the General Resources Account (GRA) for the cost of administering the PRG Trust
