IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde Welcomes Progress Towards Using US$1.1 Billion Of Gold Profits As Part Of A Strategy To Boost Concessional Lending To Low-Income Countries And Calls On More Members To Join Effort

Date 02/05/2012

International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde today welcomed steps taken by member countries to authorize the use of profits from IMF gold sales to support concessional lending to low-income countries, and called on more members to join the global effort to support the world’s poorest countries. Under a plan initially launched in 2009 aimed at raising concessional lending capacity to US$17 billion over the period 2009-2014, the Fund has decided to distribute to the membership some SDR 700 million (about US$1.1 billion) in reserves attributed to a part of the profits from its 2009-2010 gold sales program. However, the distribution will be effected only when members provide satisfactory assurances that they will make new concessional lending subsidy contributions equivalent to at least 90 percent of the amount distributed—i.e. SDR 630 million (about US$978 million—see Press Release No. 12/56).
