The IMF reform would have been an important step in updating the allocations of quotas, which determine member states’ monetary contributions and voting power. The US was not being asked to contribute more money or lose its voting weight, which has always given it a unique veto power.
国际货币基金组织的改革本是更新配额分配的重要一步，它决定了成员国货币的赞助额和投票权。这并没有要求美国赞助更多或是降低其投票权重，以及一直给予它的特殊否决权。相反，提案所增加的中国，印度，巴西以及其他新兴经济体配额主要是通过缩小欧洲国家的相关配额来实现的。
