Key IMF Financial Statistics

 

Term

Definition

Financial Assistance

 

GRA

The General Resources Account (GRA) contains IMF’s holdings of members’ currencies, SDRs, gold, and other assets. These holdings are principally derived from quota subscription payments plus any activated borrowings.

Purchases

GRA resources disbursed to members during the period (outflows).

Repurchases

GRA resources repaid by members during the period (inflows).

Credit outstanding

Total GRA resources disbursed less repayments.

PRGF

The Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF), formerly known as the Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF), provides loans at a concessional interest rate to eligible, low-income members. PRGF financing is conducted through the PRGF-ESF Trust.

Disbursements

Disbursements of PRGF loans during the period.

Repayments

Repayments of PRGF and Structural Adjustment Facility loans during the period.

Credit outstanding

Total PRGF loan disbursements less repayments (including credit outstanding under Trust Fund and Structural Adjustment Facility (SAF)).

HIPC

Assistance provided to eligible countries under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative.

Number of countries

Number of countries for which HIPC assistance has been committed.

Commitments

Cumulative commitments made to HIPC-eligible members that have reached the decision point under the HIPC Initiative; includes amounts that the IMF has indicated will be committed subject to satisfactory assurances regarding exceptional assistance to be provided by other creditors under the HIPC Initiative.

Disbursements

Cumulative grants to members eligible for financial assistance under the HIPC Initiative to be used to help meet debt service payments to the IMF.

Of which:

 

Interim assistance

Cumulative grants to members between their decision and completion points.

Completion point assistance

Final grants to members at their completion points.

MDRI

The Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI) provides 100% debt relief to eligible member countries that are qualified for the assistance. The debt relief covers the full stock of debt owed to the Fund as of end-2004, and still outstanding at the time the country qualifies for such debt relief.

      Number of countries

Number of countries which have received MDRI debt relief.

      Total Debt Relief  
       Financed from  

MDRI Trusts

MDRI resources (excluding HIPC debt relief) disbursed to members during the period.

HIPC Umbrella Account

HIPC resources used as debt relief under the MDRI during the period.

   

Available Resources

 

GRA

 

Usable resources

Usable resources consist of: (i) the IMF’s holdings of the currencies of members considered by the Executive Board to have a sufficiently strong balance of payments and reserve position for their currencies to be used in the financing of IMF transactions (see Financial Transactions: http://www.imf.org/cgi-shl/create_x.pl?ftp ), (ii) holdings of SDRs, and (iii) unused amounts, if any, under credit lines already activated, such as under the General Arrangements to Borrow and New Arrangements to Borrow (GAB/NAB).

Uncommitted usable
resources

Usable resources less the full amount of undrawn balances under existing arrangements.

Repurchases one-year forward

Repayments by member countries during the coming one-year period. These repurchases add to the supply of the IMF’s usable resources. It is assumed that repurchases would be made on an expectations basis for the SRF, and on an obligations basis under all other facilities (see Terms of IMF Lending: http://www.imf.org/external/np/exr/facts/howlend.htm )

Prudential balance

Amount set aside to safeguard the liquidity of creditors’ claims and take account of the potential erosion of the IMF’s resource base. The prudential balance is set at 20 percent of the quotas of members that issue the currencies that are used in the financing of IMF transactions and any amounts activated under borrowing arrangements. The prudential ratio of 20 percent as decided by the IMF’s Executive Board reflects historical experience and judgments on the indicative level of uncommitted usable resources that the IMF would normally not use to make financial commitments. The prudential balance does not represent a rigid minimum and IMF resources could on a strictly temporary basis, fall below this level.

One-year forward commitment capacity

A measure of the resources available for new financial commitments in the coming year, equal to uncommitted usable resources plus repurchases one-year forward minus the prudential balance.

   

PRGF-ESF Trust

Trust administered by the IMF to conduct PRGF and ESF-related operations through the Loan, Reserve and Subsidy Accounts.

Available loan resources

Loan Account resources committed by lenders to the PRGF Trust, plus resources under an associated loan agreement with the Saudi Fund for Development.

Cumulative commitments, net

Cumulative commitments to borrowers, net of unused amounts under arrangements which have expired or have been canceled.

Of which: Cumulative disbursements

Disbursements to borrowers under PRGF and ESF arrangements.

Uncommitted loan resources

Available PRGF loan resources less commitments made to PRGF and ESF borrowers.

   

Arrears Outstanding

 

GRA

Total overdue GRA financial obligations.

PRGF

Total overdue PRGF financial obligations.

Trust Fund and other

Total overdue financial obligations to the Trust Fund, Structural Adjustment Facility (SAF), and SDR Department. Although the Trust Fund and SAF are no longer operational, arrears to the Trust Fund and SAF consist of overdue repayments, interest, or charges on loans provided under these facilities. Arrears in the SDR Department are incurred on any unpaid charges.

   

Rates

 

US$ per SDR

Exchange rate for the SDR in terms of U.S. dollars. The method for valuing the SDR was revised effective January 1, 2006.

 

(See: http://www.imf.org/external/np/tre/sdr/basket.htm )

SDR interest rate

Interest rate calculated as a weighted average of three month market interest rates on U.S. dollar, euro, Japanese yen and pound sterling assets. The method for valuing the SDR interest rate was revised effective January 9, 2006.

 

(See: http://www.imf.org/external/np/tre/tad/sdr_ir.cfm )

Rate of charge, adjusted

Interest rate charged on GRA loans to cover the IMF's cost of financing, additions to reserves, and administrative expenses. Adjusted by a small margin to allow for special additions to reserves and to compensate for income forgone because of

Rate of remuneration, adjusted

Interest rate paid to members that provide resources to the IMF. Adjusted by a small margin to allow for special additions to reserves and to compensate for income forgone because of charges in arrears.

   

Investments

 

Amount

PRGF-ESF, PRGF-HIPC, Special Disbursement Account (SDA), and MDRI Trusts resources invested in short-term deposits and medium-term instruments with the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and bond portfolios managed by the World Bank and private investment managers. Data from the first quarter of 2000 onward also include sight deposits. The SDA contains the profits (sales proceeds minus the value of the gold at the acquisition cost) from sales of the IMF's gold holdings.

Table 2a. and 2b. Current Financial Arrangements (GRA, PRGF and ESF)

Term

Definition


 
Arrangements IMF credit is made available under a variety of borrowing arrangements with different disbursement schedules and maturities depending on the balance of payment needs of the member.
   Stand-By Arrangements The most common type of credit arrangement designed to provide short-term financial assistance. Purchases under Stand-By Arrangements are repayable in 8 quarterly installments 2¼ - 4 years after disbursement under the expectation schedule, and 3¼ - 5 yea
   Extended Arrangements Extended Arrangements provide credit for a longer period since these arrangements usually require fundamental reforms which may need more time to put in place and take effect. Drawings under extended arrangements are repayable in 6 semiannual installments
   PRGF Arrangements Concessional arrangements providing credit at an interest rate of ½ of 1 percent to eligible low-income members. The loans are repayable in 10 equal semiannual installments 5½ - 10 years after disbursement.

ESF Arrangements

The ESF is designed to provide concessional financing to low-income countries that are experiencing exogenous shocks but do not have a PRGF arrangement in place. The interest rate and repayment terms for disbursements under the ESF are the same as those u

   Supplemental Reserve Facility The Supplemental Reserve Facility (SRF) provides financial assistance to members experiencing exceptional balance of payments difficulties due to short-term financing needs resulting from a sudden and disruptive loss of market confidence reflected in pres
