2.1.3.3. 15th General Review of quotas

The 15th Review happened in 2019 provided an opportunity to assess the appropriate size and composition of the IMF’s resources and to continue the process of governance reforms to realign quota shares with members’ relative positions in the world economy, while protecting the poorest members.

In this review, members of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreed to maintain its funding at $1 trillion but postponed changes to its voting structure. The deal is a compromise with the U.S., the Fund’s largest shareholder, which has resisted changes to the organisation’s voting structure as well as increases in its permanent resource base.
