IMF批準(zhǔn)特別提款權(quán)分配

The board of governors of the International Monetary Fund has approved a new general allocation of Special Drawing Rights equivalent to 650 billion US dollars, in an effort to boost global liquidity amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an IMF statement released Monday.

國(guó)際貨幣基金組織(IMF)8月2日發(fā)布聲明稱，IMF理事會(huì)批準(zhǔn)了規(guī)模為6500億美元的新一輪特別提款權(quán)(SDR)普遍分配，以在新冠疫情期間增加全球流動(dòng)性。

"This is a historic decision - the largest SDR allocation in the history of the IMF and a shot in the arm for the global economy at a time of unprecedented crisis," IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said. Noting that the SDR allocation will benefit all IMF members, address the long-term global need for reserves, build confidence, and foster the resilience and stability of the global economy, Georgieva said it will particularly help the most vulnerable countries struggling to cope with the impact of the COVID-19 crisis.

IMF總裁克里斯塔利娜•格奧爾基耶娃說(shuō)："這是一個(gè)歷史性的決定——本輪分配是IMF歷史上規(guī)模最大的一次SDR分配，也是在空前危機(jī)下對(duì)全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的一劑強(qiáng)心針。本輪SDR分配將使所有成員國(guó)受益，滿足全球各國(guó)對(duì)儲(chǔ)備的長(zhǎng)期需求，鞏固信心，并提升全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的抗風(fēng)險(xiǎn)能力和穩(wěn)健性。尤其是為我們最脆弱的成員國(guó)提供支持，幫助它們應(yīng)對(duì)新冠疫情危機(jī)的影響。"

The general allocation of SDRs will become effective on Aug 23, according to the statement.

本輪SDR普遍分配將于2021年8月23日生效。
