Also significant, we are told, is the agreement to make decisions by simple majority, with countries’ votes to be roughly in proportion to their contributions. This means that no single country can block action, in contrast to the IMF executive board, which makes decisions by consensus, giving large countries like the United States de facto veto power.
人们还说确立简单多数的表决原则也很重要。清迈倡议的投票权大体同各成员经济体出资比例相当，这意味着没有任何一个国家能够阻挠共同行动。与之相比，IMF的执行董事会的决策基础是意见统一，因为美国等大国拥有事实上的一票否决权。
