Special Drawing Right (SDR) 特別提款權

Special Drawing Right (SDR) (aka paper gold)
繁:特別提款權(紙黃金)
简:特别提款权(纸黄金)

特別提款權(Special Drawing Right,SDR)國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)創設的一種儲備資產和記賬單位,亦稱「紙黃金」。它是IMF分配給會員國的一種使用資金的權利。會員國在發生國際收支逆差時,可用它向IMF指定的其他會員國換取外匯,以償付國際收支逆差或償還IMF的貸款,還可與黃金、自由兌換貨幣一樣充當國際儲備。但由於SDR只是一種記賬單位,不是真正貨幣,使用時必須先換成貨幣,不能直接用於貿易或非貿易的支付。因為它是IMF原有的普通提款權以外的一種補充,所以稱為特別提款權

The International Monetary Fund is now conducting a review to consider including the RMB in the basket of Special Drawing Right (SDR) currencies and will make a final decision at the end of the year.

But the SDR, sometimes called paper gold, is neither a currency nor a claim on the IMF, but an accounting tool that can be used to settle positions between IMF members.
