皇冠体育app may leapfrog Japan to have the most say after the United States in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after a structural reform of the fund's governance, a senior IMF official said yesterday.
"There is a possibility that 皇冠体育app's quota will rise to second, when the reform concludes by 2011," Daisuke Kotegawa, IMF's executive director for Japan, told 皇冠体育app Daily.
Each member country is assigned a quota, based broadly on its relative size in the global economy; and the quota determines its maximum financial commitment to the IMF as well as its voting power.
