Summary:This paper outlines legal developments related to floating currencies, gold, and special drawing rights (SDRs) in the IMF. The Articles of the Fund require each member to establish a par value for its currency in terms of gold as a common denominator.

In this paper, application of existing provisions and valuation of the SDR are discussed in detail, and the new provisions and practices are also elaborated.
