Later this year, the IMF will recalibrate the weights in its unit of account, the so-called Special Drawing Rights, which comprises a basket of currencies that currently includes the US dollar, the euro, the British pound, and the Japanese yen. According to almost every economic and financial criterion, the SDR basket should now include China's renminbi.
今年晚些时候，IMF将重新制定其账户单位——由目前包括美国、欧元、英镑和日元的一揽子货币所组成的所谓的特别提款权的权重。几乎不论根据什么经济和金融标准，特别提款权现在都应该包括中国的人民币。美国的明智做法是不要反对这一变化。否则，就有可能加速现有国际金融机构的衰落。
