Monetary Fund
IMF Quota and Governance Publications
Last Updated; October 9, 2012
On December 75, 2OlO, the Board of Governors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
approved a package of far-reaching reforms of the Fund's quotas and governance. These reforms
represent a major realignment in the ranking of quota shares that better reflects global economic
realities, and a strengthening in the Fund's legitimacy and effectiveness.
o This completes the 14th General Review of euotas with an unprecedented doubling of quotas
and a major realignment of quota shares-a shift of more than 5 percent from over-represented
to under-represented members and a more than 6 percent quota shift to dynamic emerging
market and developing countries.
. The reforms also protect the quota shares and voting
power of the poorest members.
. The Board of Governors also supported an
amendment to the Articles of Agreement that would
facilitate a move to a more representative, all-elected
Executive Board.

Factsheet: A Chanting
Declslons
The 2010 reforms build on an earlier set of reforms that
were approved by the Board of Governors in April 2008
and came into effect on March 3,2OLL, with the
acceptance of the 'Voice and Participation' amendment to the Articles of Agreement by 117
member countries representing 85 percent of the total voting power. (The requirement for
amendments to the Articles to enter into force is acceptance of at least three-fifths of member,
representing 85 percent of the total voting power.) The 2008 reforms strengthen the
representatlon of dynamic economies, many of which are emerging market countries, through ad
hoc quota increases for 54 member countries, They also enhance the voice and partlcipation of
low-income countries through (i) an almost tripling of basic votes-the first increase since the
IMF s creation in L945, (ii) a mechanism that, going forward, will keep constant the ratio of basic
votes to total IMF voting power, and (iii) enabling Executive Directors representing 7 or more
members to each appoint a second Alternate Executive Director following the 2012 regular
elections of Executive Director.
For the 14th General Review and associated reforms to also come into effect, (i) the proposed
amendment to the Articles of Agreement on reform of the Executive Board needs to be accepted
by at least three-fifths of IMF members representing 85 percent of the total voting power, and (ii)
members representing at least 70 percent of the total quotas on November 5, 2010 must consent
in writing to their quota increases. Many member countries will need the approval of domestic
legislatures to accept the proposed amendments to the Articles of Agreement.
Reaching agreement on these reforms involved substantial deliberation by the IMF's Executive

Monetary Fund
IMF Quota and Governance Publications
Last Updated; October 9, 2012
On December 75, 2OlO, the Board of Governors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
approved a package of far-reaching reforms of the Fund's quotas and governance. These reforms
represent a major realignment in the ranking of quota shares that better reflects global economic
realities, and a strengthening in the Fund's legitimacy and effectiveness.
o This completes the 14th General Review of euotas with an unprecedented doubling of quotas
and a major realignment of quota shares-a shift of more than 5 percent from over-represented
to under-represented members and a more than 6 percent quota shift to dynamic emerging
market and developing countries.
. The reforms also protect the quota shares and voting
power of the poorest members.
. The Board of Governors also supported an
amendment to the Articles of Agreement that would
facilitate a move to a more representative, all-elected
Executive Board.

Factsheet:How theIMF Makes
Factsheet: A Chanting
Declslons
The 2010 reforms build on an earlier set of reforms that
were approved by the Board of Governors in April 2008
and came into effect on March 3,2OLL, with the
acceptance of the 'Voice and Participation' amendment to the Articles of Agreement by 117
member countries representing 85 percent of the total voting power. (The requirement for
amendments to the Articles to enter into force is acceptance of at least three-fifths of member,
representing 85 percent of the total voting power.) The 2008 reforms strengthen the
representatlon of dynamic economies, many of which are emerging market countries, through ad
hoc quota increases for 54 member countries, They also enhance the voice and partlcipation of
low-income countries through (i) an almost tripling of basic votes-the first increase since the
IMF s creation in L945, (ii) a mechanism that, going forward, will keep constant the ratio of basic
votes to total IMF voting power, and (iii) enabling Executive Directors representing 7 or more
members to each appoint a second Alternate Executive Director following the 2012 regular
elections of Executive Director.
For the 14th General Review and associated reforms to also come into effect, (i) the proposed
amendment to the Articles of Agreement on reform of the Executive Board needs to be accepted
by at least three-fifths of IMF members representing 85 percent of the total voting power, and (ii)
members representing at least 70 percent of the total quotas on November 5, 2010 must consent
in writing to their quota increases. Many member countries will need the approval of domestic
legislatures to accept the proposed amendments to the Articles of Agreement.
Reaching agreement on these reforms involved substantial deliberation by the IMF's Executive
