The UK has committed to channelling 4bn Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to countries most in need and has so far announced commitments of SDR 1bn to the IMF’s Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust and SDR 2.5bn to the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Trust. The Government will continue to carefully consider the best option for channelling our remaining SDR 500m.
