According to the explanatory note of a bill drafted by the Ministry of Finance, raising the contribution will have no effect on the state budget. The raise will be covered by the central bank (BNR), by moving part of its foreign assets from their current placements into IMF accounts, amounting to EUR223 million.
At the end of last year, the IMF Board of Governors approved the 14th general review of quotas, with a decision to double the quota resources, from SDR 238.4 billion to SDR 476.8 billion. This was done by shifting more than 6% of quota shares from over-represented states to under-represented states, and more than 6% of the quota shares to dynamic emerging countries and developing countries.
