In recent years borrowing has been added to the categories of the financial operations engaged in by the Fund. Under Article VII, Section 2, if the Fund deems it appropriate to replenish its holdings of a member’s currency, it may agree to borrow that currency from the member itself or, with the approval of the member, from some other source either within or outside the territories of the member. No member is under any obligation to lend to the Fund or to approve a borrowing by the Fund from any other source.87
