IMF Special Drawing Rights flag IMF Special Drawing Rights

The Special Drawing Rights (XDR) is an international reserve asset created by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to supplement the official reserves of member countries. Unlike traditional currencies, XDR is not used for transactions between individuals but rather serves as a unit of account for IMF-related transactions and international reserves. The value of XDR is determined by a basket of major global currencies, including the US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Chinese Yuan (CNY), Japanese Yen (JPY), and British Pound (GBP). It helps stabilize exchange rates and provides liquidity support to countries facing balance of payments issues.
