Much of the analysis is devoted to an identification of the conflicting factors that determine the financial impact on a country of the possible arrangements considered. It is demonstrated that nonreserve centers have a financial interest in the existence of convertibility and in the absence of holding limits for primary assets, while the converse is true for a reserve center. Another clear-cut conclusion is that net users of special drawing rights (SDR) have a financial interest in increasing the role of the SDR by means of restrictions on reserve composition rather than by means of an increased SDR yield, while the reverse is true of countries with SDR holdings in excess of allocations.
