In the longer term, however, the attention the decision has attracted could spur wider use of the SDR. More important, at least for now, the decision amounts to an endorsement by the IMF of the progress China has made toward renminbi internationalization, while reflecting – and reinforcing – China’s growing economic clout.
事实上，SDR在全球经济中的作用十分有限，因此IMF的决定几乎没有任何短期实质影响。但从长期看，这一决定所吸引的注意力能够刺激SDR得到更广泛的使用。更重要的是，至少在现在，这一决定证明了IMF对中国在人民币国际化方面取得的进步持肯定态度，同时也反应——并加强了——中国日益增加的经济实力。
