Summary and Scope
- This paper provides an update on the status of the SDR trading market and operations.
- For more than three decades, SDRs have exclusively been exchanged for freely usable currencies in transactions by agreement, primarily through the Voluntary Trading Arrangements (VTAs).
- A small fraction of transactions by agreement—sales or acquisitions of SDRs—has been arranged directly between parties.
- VTAs are bilateral arrangements between the Fund and SDR department participants or prescribed holders, in which the VTA participants agree to buy and sell SDRs within certain limits.
- The paper covers SDR trading operations during the period September 2023 to August 2024.
