Special Drawing Right

Whether the renminbi is added to the currencies that make up the International Monetary Fund's special drawing right unit will be a litmus test.

人民币是否被纳入国际货币基金组织（IMF）特别提款权的货币篮子，将是一块试金石。

A superficially attractive option is the special drawing right, a form of reserve asset created in 1969 during another round of discussions about the dominant dollar.

表面看来颇具吸引力的一个选项就是特别提款权（sdr），它是在1969年另一轮有关美元霸权地位的讨论中创造出的储备资产形式。

But in1969, as the strains between America's budget deficit and the dollar's gold peg emerged, an artificial reserve asset was created: the Special Drawing Right ( SDR), run by the IMF.

但在1969年，随着美国的财政预算赤字和美元钉住黄金浮现出来，一种储备资产出现了：由国际货币基金组织运作的“特别提款权”。

The International Monetary Fund is exploring the role of the special drawing right ( SDR), a little-used artificial reserve asset, and emerging markets currencies in the system.

国际货币基金组织（IMF）正在探讨特别提款权（SDR）这一很少用到的人为创造的储备资产、以及新兴市场货币在国际货币体系中能够发挥何种作用。

Apart from budgetary constraints and currency depreciation in the US and Japan, which make buying each "special drawing right" more expensive, the round is complicated by previous debt forgiveness pledges.

除了预算限制及美国和日本的货币贬值以外，以前作出的债务豁免承诺也让本轮筹款变得更加复杂。

In March, Mr Zhou said that role could be filled by the special drawing right, a basket of currencies used by the International Monetary Fund as a unit of account.

今年3月，周小川表示，这一职能可由国际货币基金组织（imf）的计价单位由一篮子货币组成的特别提款权（special drawing right）来履行。

"Sdr" means a special drawing right as defined by the international monetary fund.

“特别提款权”是指国际货币基金组织规定的特别提款权。

The International Monetary Fund will hold discussions in May and make a decision in November on whether to add the Chinese renminbi to the four currencies it uses to value its Special Drawing Right ( SDR), the international reserve asset created by the Fund.

国际货币基金组织（IMF）将于今年5月展开讨论，并于11月就是否让人民币成为特别提款权（SDR）货币篮子中的第五种货币做出决定。SDR是IMF创设的国际储备资产。
