Area of Science:
- International Monetary System
- Global Finance
- Economic Policy
Background:
- The special drawing right (SDR) was established by the IMF in 1969.
- SDRs were allocated twice in the first decade, then halted until 2009 and 2021.
- Allocations in 2009 and 2021 aimed to mitigate global financial and health crises.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the historical role and effectiveness of the SDR.
- To propose a new approach for SDR allocation to enhance global financial stability.
Main Methods:
- Historical analysis of SDR allocations.
- Review of IMF's role in international monetary system.
- Economic impact assessment of SDRs during crises.
Main Results:
- The SDR has demonstrated its utility as a crisis resolution tool.
- Past allocations have provided crucial liquidity during financial downturns and pandemics.
- The SDR's potential to strengthen the international monetary system is significant.
Conclusions:
- Regular annual SDR allocations are proposed.
- This policy could proactively bolster the international monetary system.
