Dev Explains Hailed as one of the most significant resources to help low-income countries cope with the economic impacts of the pandemic, the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights are also among the trickiest to wrap your head around. Even U.S. senators and U.S. Treasury secretaries are prone to arguing over how these global reserve assets actually work — and who pays for them. Thankfully, Adva Saldinger is here to explain SDRs once and for all. ------------------------------------- DevExplains: What are Special Drawing Rights? DevExplains: What are Special Drawing Rights? Via YouTube The COVID-19 crisis has created a serious liquidity crisis in some low-income countries that are unable to mount massive domestic stimulus efforts. To address this challenge, those countries, along with development advocates, have been pushing the International Monetary Fund to agree to a new issuance of Special Drawing Rights. SDRs have increasingly been in the news as discussions about a potential issuance have heated up at the G-20 and G-7 groups of nations — and, most recently, at IMF itself. In fact, news emerged last week that a new issuance of about $650 billion is likely, with IMF planning to present a proposal to its directors by June.
