International Monetary Fund (IMF).

International Monetary Fund (IMF)is a specialized agency of the United Nations, established, along with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, at the UN Monetary and Financial Conference held in 1944 at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The IMF began operations in 1947. Its purpose is to promote international monetary cooperation to facilitate the expansion of international trade. The IMF is a permanent forum for consideration of issues of international payments, in which member nations are encouraged to maintain an orderly pattern of exchange rates and to avoid restrictive exchange practices. Membership included 181 countries in 1995 and is open to all independent nations.

Activities.

Members undertake to keep the IMF informed about economic and financial policies that impinge on the exchange value of their national currencies so that other members can make appropriate policy decisions. On joining the fund, each member is assigned a quota in special drawing rights (SDRs), the fund's unit of account. Each member's quota is an amount corresponding to its relative position in the world economy. As the world's leading economy, the United States has the largest quota. In 1997 the U.S. SDR quota was about 26.5 billion. The smallest quota, that of the Marshall Islands, was about SDR 2.5 million. The amount of the quota subscription determines how large a vote a member will have in IMF deliberations.
