• International Monetary Fund (IMF) was established along with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development at the Conference of 44 nations held at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA in July 1944. • At the top of its organizational structure is the Board of Governors. The day-to-day work of the IMF is overseen by its 24-member Executive Board, which represents the entire membership and supported by IMF staff. • India is a founder member of the IMF. India has not taken any financial assistance from the IMF since 1993. Repayments of all the loans taken from International Monetary Fund have been completed on 31 May, 2000. Hence statement 1 is correct. • The objectives of IMF is macro-economic growth, alleviation of poverty and economic stability, policy advice & financing for developing countries, forum for cooperation in monetary system, promotion of exchange rate stability and international payment system. • Finance Minister is the ex-officio Governor on the Board of Governors of the IMF. RBI Governor is the Alternate Governor at the IMF. India is represented at the IMF by an Executive Director who also represents three other countries as well, viz. Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bhutan. Hence statement 2 is not correct. • The IMF's resources mainly come from the money that countries pay as their capital subscription (quotas) when they become members. Each member of the IMF is assigned a quota, based broadly on its relative position in the world economy. o Countries can then borrow from this pool when they fall into financial difficulty. • India's quota in the IMF, which determines voting shares in the multi-lateral lending agency, is 2.75 percent. • The SDR of IMF is an international reserve asset. The SDR is not a currency, but its value is based on a basket of five currencies—the US dollar, the euro, the Chinese renminbi, the Japanese yen, and the British pound sterling. • As part of its mandate for international surveillance under the Articles of Agreement, the IMF conducts what is known as Article-IV consultations to review the economic status of member countries. Hence statement 3 is correct. o Under Article IV of its Articles of Agreement, the IMF has a mandate to exercise surveillance over the economic, financial and exchange rate policies of its members in order to ensure the effective operation of the international monetary system. o Article-IV Consultations are generally held in two phases, main consultations in October-November and mid-term review in June.
