The second implication is further postponement of the International Monetary Fund’s 2010 quota and governance reforms, which would double member countries’ contributions and modestly increase major emerging economies’ voting power. Prior to its approval by the IMF Board in December 2010, the reform, agreed at the G-20 Seoul Summit, had been hailed as a “historic” breakthrough.
第二个影响是国际货币基金组织（IMF）的2010年配额和治理改革被进一步推迟，这项改革将倍增成员国的出资额，并略微提高主要新兴经济体的投票权。在2010年12月被IMF理事会批准之前，已在G-20首尔峰会上达成一致的这一改革方案被称为“历史性”突破。但没有美国的批准——该国拥有IMF重大决策的实际否决权，历史将停滞不前。
