The document provides information about Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) created by the International Monetary Fund. It discusses that SDRs were created in 1969 as a supplemental international reserve asset intended to supplement a shortfall of gold and US dollars. The value of an SDR is defined by a weighted basket of currencies including the US dollar, Euro, British pound, and Japanese yen. SDRs are allocated to IMF members based on their IMF quota and can only be exchanged between central banks for freely usable currencies.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. The Bretton Woods Conference
It was held in June 1944 at Mount Washington Hotel,
situated in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA.
The main founder of conference were
◦ Harry Dexter White -Chief International Economist at the
U.S. Treasury
◦ John Maynard Keynes – U. K. Treasury Advisor
44 delegate nations took part in conference including
USA, UK, Soviet Union, Australia, India and many
European nations.
3. Main Conference Agreements
Formation of the IMF and the IBRD (World Bank).
Adjustably pegged foreign exchange market rate system:
◦ The exchange rates were fixed, with the provision of changing
them if necessary. (The U.S. dollar tied to gold at $35 an
ounce)
Currencies were required to be convertible for trade related
and other current account transactions.
All member countries were required to subscribe to the
IMF's capital.
Member countries contributed their currencies and gold to
the fund.
Using the US dollar as a global gold standard.
4. Fall of Bretton-Woods
Increasing balance of payment crises.
U.S. currency pressure brought about partly from cost of
Vietnam War and a growing trade deficit.
President Nixon issued an executive order in 1971
eliminating the gold standard and devaluing the dollar.
Floating exchange rates determined by market trading
replaced fixed exchange rates.
5. Balance of Payment Crisis
Till 1970s International trade was conducted in dollar
denominations.
Foreign central banks held their international reserves in
dollar assets.
The probability of “Fundamental Disequilibrium” was
thought to exist for various nations.
Large current account surpluses made countries candidates
for revaluation.
Selling local currency in the foreign exchange market with
the intent of slowing appreciation resulted in large official
reserves.
Money supply would grow to quickly which in turn would
push up the price level and disrupt the internal balance.
6. Special Drawing Rights (SDR)
Special drawing rights were created by the IMF in 1969 and
were intended to be an asset held in foreign exchange
reserves.
They were Issued to supplement a shortfall of preferred
foreign exchange reserve assets, namely Gold and the US
dollar.
They were allocated to participating members in portion to
their Fund quotas.
The value of a SDR is defined by a weighted currency
basket of four major currencies: the US dollar, the Euro,
the British pound, and the Japanese yen.
SDRs are denoted with the ISO 4217 currency code XDR.
7. Valuation of SDR
The value of the SDR is determined by the value of several
currencies important to the world‟s trading and financial
systems.
Initially its value was fixed
1 SDR = 1 US dollar
The basket of currencies used to value the SDR is
„weighted‟, meaning that the more important currencies
have a larger impact on its value.
Current valuation
◦ Due to fluctuating exchange rates, the relative value of each
currency varies continuously and so does the value of the SDR.
The IMF fixes the value of one SDR in terms of US dollars daily.
8. SDR or Paper Gold
A country's IMF quota, the maximum amount of financial
resources that it is obligated to contribute to the fund,
determines its allotment of SDRs.
It cannot be used for trading purposes.
Only central governments can hold SDR and no private firm
can have its ownership rights.
They can only be exchanged for Euros, Japanese
yen, pounds sterling, or US dollars.
Any new allocations must be voted on in the SDR
Department of the IMF and pass with an 85% majority.
9. SDR Market
Various Fund members and one prescribed SDR holder
have agreed to stand ready to buy and sell SDRs on a
voluntary basis.
The Fund facilitates transactions between members seeking
to sell or buy SDRs and these counterparties to the
voluntary agreements that effectively make a market in
SDRs.
In the event that there are not enough voluntary buyers of
SDRs, the IMF can designate members with strong balance
of payments positions to provide freely usable currency in
exchange for SDRs.
11. Allocation of SDRs
Special drawing rights are allocated to member countries
by the IMF.
A country's IMF quota, the maximum amount of financial
resources that it is obligated to contribute to the fund,
determines its allotment of SDRs.
Any new allocations must be voted on in the SDR
Department of the IMF and pass with an 85% majority.
All IMF member countries are represented in the SDR
Department.
Voting power is determined by a member country's IMF
quota. For example, the US has 16.7% of the vote as of
March 2, 2011.
12. SDR allocations
SDR 9.3 billion was allocated in yearly instalments in
1970–72.
SDR 12.1 billion was allocated in yearly instalments in
1979–81.
SDR 161.2 billion was allocated on August 28, 2009.
◦ The general SDR allocation of August 28, 2009 is by far the
biggest allocation to date
A special one-time allocation of SDR 21.5 billion took effect
on September 9, 2009, bringing total cumulative
allocations to about SDR 204 billion (equivalent to about
US$318 billion).
14. Borrowings by India
India's current quota in the IMF is SDR 5821.50 million,
giving it a shareholding of 2.44%.
India borrowed SDR 3.9 billion during the period 1981-84.
Again during 1991 to 1993, India borrowed an amount of
SDR 3.56 billion because of BOP crisis.
Repayment of all the loans taken from International
Monetary Fund has been completed on May 31, 2000.
India received allocation of about USD 4.5 billion in General
allocations of 2009.
India is now a contributor to the IMF.
This may lead to a devaluation of the currency. Anyone holding this currency would incur a loss equal to the amount of the exchange rate change.
This basket is re-evaluated every five years, and the currencies included as well as the weights given to them can then change. A currency's importance is currently measured by the degree to which it is used as a foreign exchange reserve asset and the amount of exports sold in that currency.
This so-called "designation mechanism" ensures that a participant can use its SDRs to readily obtain an equivalent amount of currency if it has a need for such a currency because of its balance of payments, its reserve position, or developments in its reserves.
