Annex II to Report I
October 1, 1996
Dear Mr. Chairman:
In accordance with Section 16 of the By-Laws, the attached amend-ment of the Rules and Regulations adopted since the 1995 regular meeting(Attachment I) is submitted for review by the Board of Governors. A draftResolution for approval by Governors appears in Attachment II.
268 SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS, 1996
The Executive Board decided in 1980 that the list and amounts of thecurrencies that determine the value of the SDR be revised with effect onJanuary 1, 1986, and on the first day of each subsequent period of fiveyears, unless it decided otherwise. The value of the SDR is based on thecurrencies of the five Fund members whose exports of goods and serviceshave the largest value in the five-year period ending twelve months beforethe effective date of the valuation. With effect from January 1, 1996, theExecutive Board determined that these currencies are the U.S. dollar, thedeutsche mark, the Japanese yen, the French franc, and the pound sterling,with percentage weights in the valuation of 39, 21, 18, 11, and 11, respec-tively. The units of these five currencies in the valuation basket were cal-culated on December 29, 1995, effective January 1, 1996, on the basis ofthe new weight for each currency and the average exchange rates for eachof the currencies in the basket for the period October–December 1995 insuch a manner as to ensure that the value of the SDR in terms of these cur-rencies was the same on December 29, 1995, under both the previous andthe revised valuation baskets. The amount of each currency was roundedto three significant digits. The revised currency amounts used to determinethe value of the SDR were incorporated in an amended Rule O-1.
The Executive Board has made no other changes in the Rules andRegulations since the last Annual Meeting.
Very truly yours,

274 SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS, 1996
Interim Committee of the Board of Governorson the International Monetary System
PRESS COMMUNIQUÉ
September 29, 1996
1. The Interim Committee held its forty-seventh meeting in Wash-ington, D.C. on September 29, 1996 under the Chairmanship of Mr. Philippe Maystadt, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Financeand of Foreign Trade of Belgium.
2. The Committee welcomed the generally encouraging world eco-nomic and financial situation and prospects for a strengthening andbroadening of the economic expansion in 1996 and 1997. It noted theprogress toward price stability and in reducing fiscal deficits in manycountries, the improvement in exchange market conditions among themajor currencies, the continuing rapid expansion of trade and financialflows, and the growing reliance on market forces worldwide. The Com-mittee observed that:
• Developing countries are playing an increasingly significant rolein generating growth and expanding trade, with many emerging-market economies reaping the benefits of consistent implementa-tion of market-oriented policies, supported by capital inflows in-cluding sustained foreign direct investment. The performance ofmany Asian countries remains impressive: in a number of cases,moderating growth is helping to alleviate inflationary pressures.In an increasing number of African countries per capita incomesand growth prospects are improving as a result of sound policies,although serious problems remain. Many Latin American coun-tries are recovering and experiencing lower inflation after the dif-ficulties associated with the Mexican crisis. In the Middle East,strengthened adjustment efforts have enhanced growth prospectsin several countries.
• In the transition countries, continued implementation of broad-based reforms is expected to lead to a further strengthening ofgrowth performance, and inflation, though still high, is declining.
• In the industrial countries, inflation is subdued: sound expansionof output and employment has continued in the United States andsome other countries; Japan’s recovery is more firmly estab-
275
lished; and in continental western Europe, the standstill in growthhas ended and conditions are now in place for a resumption ofmore satisfactory growth.
3. The Committee noted that favorable developments in the worldeconomy reflect the implementation by many countries of policies con-sistent with the common strategy set out in the October 1994 Madrid De-claration on Cooperation to Strengthen the Global Expansion. It notedthat this strategy remained valid. It saw however a need to update andbroaden it to take account of new challenges in the changing global en-vironment, in the attached Declaration on “Partnership for SustainableGlobal Growth,” on September 29, 1996.
4. The Committee welcomed the strengthening of Fund surveillanceand the report of the Managing Director on the review of policies in thecontext of surveillance, which provides valuable lessons for the mem-bership and for the Fund on the conduct of surveillance in the new globalenvironment.
5. The Committee welcomed the Special Data Dissemination Stan-dard and was encouraged by the broad mix of industrial and emerging-market countries among its first subscribers; it urged other countries thatare in a position to subscribe to do so. It noted the recent initiation of theData Standards Bulletin Board (DSBB). It looks forward to further en-hancement of the DSBB, including the possible establishment of elec-tronic links to country data. It requested the Executive Board to completework on the general standards for data dissemination, that will apply toall countries, so that they are in place before the Spring 1997 meeting ofthe Committee.
6. With respect to the IMF’s financial resources and assistance tomembers, the Committee:
• welcomed the progress made by the Executive Board in its workon the Eleventh General Review of Quotas. In view of the evolu-tion of the Fund’s prospective liquidity position and other factors,the Committee requested the Executive Board to continue itswork on the Review and to do its utmost to reach a conclusion assoon as possible.
• welcomed the progress made in establishing the New Arrange-ments to Borrow. It noted that these Arrangements would effec-tively double the resources currently available to the Fund underthe General Arrangements to Borrow and improve the Fund’sability to meet requests for balance of payments assistance bymembers in circumstances that could have systemic implications.
276 SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS, 1996
It requested the participants in the New Arrangements, and theExecutive Board, to complete their work promptly. The Commit-tee urged the participating members to complete the domesticprocesses needed to bring these New Arrangements into effect assoon as possible.
7. The Committee warmly endorsed the program of action proposedby the Fund and the Bank to ensure that the heavily indebted poor coun-tries (HIPCs) that have shown a sound track record of economic adjust-ment can attain a sustainable debt situation over the medium term. It en-dorsed the conclusions by the Executive Board on financing thecontinuation of ESAF and the Fund’s participation in the Initiative to as-sist the HIPCs, to which all members are committed. It also welcomedthe agreement to transfer a portion of the ESAF reserves to support theFund’s participation in the HIPC Initiative with grants or loans on longermaturities. The Committee also welcomed the commitment by the WorldBank to the Initiative and the President’s willingness to allocate an over-all contribution to it. It welcomed the indication that the Paris Club cred-itors are ready to go beyond Naples Terms in providing debt reductionof up to 80 percent for countries qualifying for additional relief withinthe HIPC Initiative, on a case-by-case basis, according to its usual rules,to achieve an exit from an unsustainable debt. It urged other creditors toparticipate in the Initiative on an equitable basis. It also reaffirmed theimportance of the Fund’s preferred creditor status. The Committee re-quested the Executive Board to proceed quickly with implementationand to report on progress to the Committee in Spring 1997.
8. The Committee welcomed the consensus reached in the Execu-tive Board that all members should receive an equitable share of cumu-lative SDR allocations through an amendment of the Fund’s Articles ofAgreement providing for a one-time allocation of SDRs, based on a com-mon benchmark ratio of cumulative allocations to present quotas. TheCommittee endorsed this approach and requested the Executive Board tofinalize its work on the amendment by the time of the Committee’s nextmeeting. The Committee emphasized that such an amendment of the Ar-ticles would not in any way affect the Fund’s existing power to allocateSDRs on the basis of a finding of long-term global need to supplementreserves as and when that need arises.
9. The Committee asked the Executive Board to continue its analy-sis of capital flows and their implications, to examine possible changesin the Fund Articles, and to report to the Committee at its next meeting.
10. The Committee will meet again in Washington, D.C. on April 28,1997.
INTERIM COMMITTEE 277
INTERIM COMMITTEE DECLARATION
PARTNERSHIP FOR SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL GROWTH
The Interim Committee has reviewed the Declaration on Coopera-tion to Strengthen the Global Expansion, which it adopted two years agoin Madrid. It notes that the strategy set out in the Declaration, which em-phasized sound domestic policies, international cooperation, and globalintegration, remains valid. It reiterates the objective of promoting fullparticipation of all economies, including the low-income countries, inthe global economy. Favorable developments in, and prospects for, manyindustrial, developing, and transition economies owe much to the imple-mentation of sound policies consistent with the common medium-termstrategy.
The Interim Committee sees a need to update and broaden the Decla-ration, in light of the new challenges of a changing global environment,and to strengthen its implementation, in a renewed spirit of partnership. Itattaches particular importance to the following:
• Stressing that sound monetary, fiscal, and structural policies arecomplementary and mutually reinforcing: steady application ofconsistent policies over the medium term is required to establishthe conditions for sustained noninflationary growth and job cre-ation, which are essential for social cohesion.
• Implementing sound macroeconomic policies and avoiding largeimbalances are essential to promote financial and exchange ratestability and avoid significant misalignments among currencies.
• Creating a favorable environment for private savings.
• Consolidating the success in bringing inflation down and buildingon the hard-won credibility of monetary policy.
• Maintaining the impetus of trade liberalization, resisting protec-tionist pressures, and upholding the multilateral trading system.
• Encouraging current account convertibility and careful progress to-ward increased freedom of capital movements through efforts topromote stability and financial soundness.
• Achieving budget balance and strengthened fiscal discipline in amultiyear framework. Continued fiscal imbalances and excessivepublic indebtedness, and the upward pressures they put on globalreal interest rates, are threats to financial stability and durablegrowth. It is essential to enhance the transparency of fiscal policy
278 SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS, 1996
by persevering with efforts to reduce off-budget transactions andquasi-fiscal deficits.
• Improving the quality and composition of fiscal adjustment by re-ducing unproductive spending while ensuring adequate basic in-vestment in infrastructure. Because the sustainability of eco-nomic growth depends on development of human resources, it isessential to improve education and training; to reform public pen-sion and health systems to ensure their long-term viability and en-able the provision of effective health care; and to alleviatepoverty and provide well-targeted and affordable social safetynets.
• Tackling structural reforms more boldly, including through laborand product market reforms, with a view to increasing employmentand reducing other distortions that impede the efficient allocationof resources, so as to make our economies more dynamic and re-silient to adverse developments.
• Promoting good governance in all its aspects, including by ensur-ing the rule of law, improving the efficiency and accountability ofthe public sector, and tackling corruption, as essential elements ofa framework within which economies can prosper.
• Ensuring the soundness of banking systems through strong pru-dential regulation and supervision, improved coordination, betterassessment of credit risk, stringent capital requirements, timely dis-closure of banks’ financial conditions, action to prevent moneylaundering, and improved management of banks.
The Committee encourages the Fund to continue to cooperate withother international organizations in all relevant areas. It welcomesthe recent strengthening of Fund surveillance of member countries’policies, which is an integral part of the strategy. It reaffirmed itscommitment to strengthen the Fund’s capacity to fulfill its man-date. It will keep members’ efforts at achieving the common objec-tives of this strategy under review.

Joint Ministerial Committee of the Boards of Governorsof the Bank and the Fund on the Transferof Real Resources to Developing Countries
(Development Committee)
PRESS COMMUNIQUÉ
September 30, 1996
1. The fifty-third meeting of the Development Committee was heldin Washington, D.C. on September 30, 1996 under the chairmanship ofMr. Mohamed Kabbaj, Minister of Finance and Foreign Investment ofMorocco.1
2. Resolving Debt Problems of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries(HIPCs). The Committee expressed its appreciation to the Bank and Fundfor the progress made since its last meeting and endorsed the Action Pro-gram for the HIPC Initiative. It urged the Bank and Fund, working closelywith donors and other creditors, to move swiftly to implement the Initiative.
3. Members reiterated their support for the Initiative’s basic objec-tive—ensuring that HIPCs demonstrating a track record of sustained strongpolicy performance are able to achieve overall external debt sustainability,enabling them to exit from the rescheduling process and to strengthen theirpoverty reduction programs. They recognized that the HIPC Initiative com-mits the international financial community to take additional action to re-duce eligible countries’ debt burdens to sustainable levels where full use ofexisting debt relief mechanisms is unlikely to be sufficient.
4. Members agreed that coordinated action by all creditors was criti-cal to the Initiative’s success. The assistance to be provided by each groupof creditors should be consistent with the guiding principles agreed at theCommittee’s April 1996 meeting, and would be based on the need to: (a)deliver debt sustainability; (b) share broadly and equitably the cost of theInitiative; and (c) preserve the preferred creditor status of the multilateralfinancial institutions. Ministers stressed that the Initiative should be im-

1Mr. James D. Wolfensohn, President of the World Bank; Mr. Michel Camdessus, Man-aging Director of the International Monetary Fund; and Mr. Qazi Alimullah, Deputy Chair-man of the Planning Commission of Pakistan for Finance and Economic Affairs and Chair-man of the Group of Twenty-Four addressed the plenary session. Observers from a numberof international and regional organizations also attended.
plemented flexibly, on a case-by-case basis, and with full participation bydebtor governments.
5. Ministers also welcomed the commitment of the IMF, reflected inthe statement of the Interim Committee on September 29, to participatein the enhanced assistance to be provided under the HIPC Initiativethrough special ESAF operations, including long maturity loans orgrants.
6. Members supported the World Bank’s proposed $500 million ini-tial contribution and noted President Wolfensohn’s announced readinessto recommend to the Board of Executive Directors additional contribu-tions, provided future net income of the Bank would so permit, that thereis equitable burden sharing by creditors, and these funds are needed tomeet the Bank’s own share of the burden. Members supported as well theenhanced assistance (including IDA grants) the Bank intends to providein selected cases when needed.
7. Given the significant share of debt owed by the poorest and mostindebted countries to bilateral creditors, Ministers welcomed the indica-tion from the Paris Club that it was ready to go beyond Naples Terms toprovide debt reduction of up to 80 percent for countries qualifying foradditional relief within the HIPC Initiative, and that its decisions will bemade on a case-by-case basis, according to its usual rules, to achieve anexit from unsustainable debt. They suggested the Paris Club, the interna-tional financial institutions, and all involved creditors coordinate theiractions to deliver needed debt relief consistent with the Initiative’s basicprinciples noted in paragraphs 3 and 4 above.
8. Ministers welcomed the readiness to participate in the Initiativeindicated by several multilateral agencies, and urged other multilateralsto define their participation as soon as possible. The Committee agreedthat the proposed multilateral HIPC Trust Fund, to be administered byIDA, would make an effective contribution to the success of the Initia-tive. Members expressed appreciation to those bilateral donors that hadindicated at this early stage their intention to contribute to the Trust Fundand encouraged others to do so as well.
9. Ministers requested the IMF and World Bank to begin implemen-tation of the Initiative for the first potentially eligible countries beforethe end of 1996 and to report back to the Committee at its next meetingon progress achieved in implementing the Initiative.
10. International Development Association (IDA). Ministers reiter-ated their strong support for IDA and its central importance to the globaleffort to reduce poverty; therefore, it is important that all donors ensurethe success of IDA-11 by fully respecting their commitments on time.
282 SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS, 1996
The Committee welcomed the increased IBRD grant to IDA of $600 mil-lion this year.
11. Ministers recognized that the IDA-11 agreement reflects a sig-nificant reduction in donor contributions from previous levels. Theyasked IDA management and donor representatives to work together inthe next several months to help ensure adequate and secure future fund-ing for IDA. Ministers will discuss these and related matters as they con-sider the prospects for IDA funding at their next meeting.
12. Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA). Ministersnoted that MIGA’s activities had grown appreciably along with the ex-pansion of foreign private investment in developing countries. They wel-comed the recent rapid expansion in demand for MIGA services and rec-ognized that, as a result, MIGA is quickly approaching the limits of itsfinancial capacity. Ministers requested that the MIGA management andExecutive Board address MIGA’s resource constraints soon and report onthis subject at the Committee’s next meeting.
13. World Trade Organization (WTO). The Committee expressed itsappreciation to WTO Director-General Renato Ruggiero for his valuablebriefing on key issues likely to be addressed at the first WTO Minister-ial Meeting in December. Ministers agreed with Mr. Ruggiero on the im-portance of trade as a formidable engine of economic growth for all na-tions and on the opportunities and challenges offered by globalization.They requested the Bank and Fund to assist those countries not yet mem-bers of the WTO to join the organization and to assist all members, par-ticularly the poorest, to become more fully integrated into the multilat-eral trading system. Ministers expressed their support for closercollaboration between the WTO, the Fund, and the Bank and offered theDirector-General and the WTO best wishes for a successful MinisterialMeeting.
14. Next Meeting. The Committee’s next meeting will be held onApril 29, 1997 in Washington, D.C.
