Directors stressed the importance of agreeing on a quota formula that better reflects members’ relative positions in the global economy for future discussions on the 15th General Review of Quotas.
The IMFC reiterated in April its expectation for agreement by January 2013: "...on a simple and transparent quota formula that better reflects members’ relative positions in the world economy."
The IMFC reaffirmed its commitment to complete the 15th quota review by January 2014.
The IMFC noted that any realignment is expected to:
- result in increases in the quota shares of dynamic economies in line with their relative positions in the world economy, and hence likely in the share of EMDCs as a whole;
- and that steps shall be taken to protect the voice and representation of the poorest members.
