To the Board of Governors of the
International Monetary Fund
Washington, DC
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of the General Department of the International Monetary Fund and subsidiary (the “Department”) as of April 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in reserves, resources and retained earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Department’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the General Department of the International Monetary Fund at April 30, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed on pages 21 to 27 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. These schedules are the responsibility of the Department’s management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2012, and 2011
1. Nature of operations
The International Monetary Fund (IMF or “the Fund”) is an international organization with 188 member countries. It was established to promote international monetary cooperation and exchange stability and to maintain orderly exchange arrangements among members; to facilitate the expansion and balanced growth of international trade, and contribute thereby to the promotion and maintenance of high levels of employment; and to provide temporary financial assistance under adequate safeguards to member countries to assist in solving their balance of payments problems in a manner consistent with the provisions of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement.
The IMF conducts its operations and transactions through the General Department and the Special Drawing Rights Department (SDR Department), which are distinct entities. The General Department consists of three accounting entities: (1) the General Resources Account (GRA), (2) the Investment Account (IA), and (3) the Special Disbursement Account (SDA). The SDA includes the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative-I Trust (MDRI-I Trust), for which the IMF is the Trustee and over which the SDA has substantial control.
The resources of the SDR Department are held separately from the assets of all the other accounts owned, or administered by, the IMF. As specified in the IMF’s Articles of Agreement, these resources may not be used to meet the liabilities, obligations, or losses incurred in the operations of the General Department (or vice versa), except that expenses of conducting the business of the SDR Department are paid by the General Department and are then reimbursed by the SDR Department to the General Department. As the General Department does not have control over the SDR Department, the financial statements of the SDR Department are presented separately.
The IMF also administers and/or executes other trusts and administered accounts established to perform financial and technical services consistent with the IMF’s purposes. The resources of these other trusts and administered accounts are contributed by members or by the IMF through the SDA. The assets of the other trusts and administered accounts do not belong to the General Department and the IMF does not derive benefits from their activities, and therefore the financial statements of these entities are presented separately.
General Resources Account
The financial operations of the IMF with members are primarily conducted through the GRA. The assets and liabilities in the GRA reflect the payment of member quota subscriptions, use and repayment of IMF credit, collection of charges from borrowers, payment of remuneration and interest on creditor positions and to lenders, respectively, and other operations.
Investment Account
The IA holds resources transferred from the GRA, which are invested to broaden the IMF’s income base. The current investment objective of the IA is to generate returns that exceed the SDR interest rate over time while minimizing the frequency and extent of negative returns and underperformance. Investments currently comprise primarily fixed-income securities and short-term deposits. The earnings generated by the IA may be retained in the IA or transferred to the GRA to help meet the expenses of conducting the business of the IMF.
Special Disbursement Account
The SDA is the vehicle used to receive profits from the sale of gold held by the IMF at the time of the Second Amendment of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement (1978). SDA resources can be used for various purposes as specified in the IMF Articles of Agreement, including transfers to the GRA for immediate use in operations and transactions, transfers to the IA, or to provide balance of payment assistance on special terms to developing member countries in difficult circumstances. Pending uses for other purposes, resources may also be held in the SDA and invested.
The SDA also holds claims related to outstanding loans extended under the Structural Adjustment Facility (SAF). Repayments of principal and interest from SAF loans are transferred from the SDA to the Reserve Account of the Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust (PRG Trust), which is administered separately by the IMF as Trustee.
Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative
The Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI) provides debt relief to qualifying low-income member countries. For this purpose, the MDRI-I and MDRI-II Trusts were established on January 5, 2006, to provide grant assistance to eligible members under the MDRI. As the IMF has control over the MDRI-I Trust, the latter’s financial statements are consolidated with those of the General Department through the SDA. Grant assistance from the MDRI Trusts provides debt relief to cover debt owed to the IMF at December 31, 2004 that is not covered by debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative and that has not been repaid at the time the member qualifies for HIPC relief. At April 30, 2012 and 2011, only one of the five remaining MDRI-eligible members was expected to have debt outstanding from 2004 upon reaching completion point. Since this debt is expected to be covered by resources in the PRG-HIPC Trust, no liability was recorded for the MDRI-I Trust.
2. Basis of preparation and measurement
The consolidated financial statements of the General Department are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.
New and Revised International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations
Revised IAS 24, “Related Party Disclosures” was issued in November 2009 and superseded IAS 24 (as revised in 2003). The major revisions include simplifying the definition of a related party and providing partial exemption for government-related entities. The revised standard, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, had no impact on the General Department’s consolidated financial statements.
The following new standards and amendments to existing standards have been issued by the IASB but are not yet effective and have not yet been implemented by the General Department.
IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments” was issued in November 2009 as the first step in replacing IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. Under IFRS 9, financial assets currently within the scope of IAS 39 will be divided into two categories: those measured at amortized cost and those measured at fair value. The effective date for adoption of IFRS 9 is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. As the General Department already measures financial assets at amortized cost or fair value, the implementation of IFRS 9 is not expected to have an impact on the General Department’s financial position or results of operations.
IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements” was issued in May 2011 and replaces the parts of IAS 27, “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” that deal with consolidated financial statements and SIC-12, “Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities”. The standard establishes a new control model for determining which entities should be consolidated. The standard also provides guidance on how to apply the principle of control to specific situations in order to identify whether an investor controls an investee. The effective date is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with earlier application permitted under certain circumstances. The implementation of IFRS 10 is not expected to have a significant impact on the General Department’s financial position or results of operations.
IFRS 13, “Fair Value Measurement” was issued in May 2011 and defines fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires more extensive disclosures about fair value. The effective date is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The implementation of IFRS 13 is expected to result in additional disclosures in the General Department’s financial statements, but will not have a significant impact on the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities.
Amended IAS 19, “Employee Benefits” was issued in June 2011. The amendments include removal of the option to defer actuarial gains and losses under the “corridor” method and a new approach for calculating the asset return amount included in the reporting period’s income statement. All actuarial gains and losses will be recognized immediately in other comprehensive income and the net pension asset or liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position will reflect the full excess or deficit of plan assets over the defined benefit obligation, respectively. The amendment to IAS 19 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses will result in increased volatility of the pension asset in the General Department’s financial position and the associated changes that will be recognized in other comprehensive income.
The following new standards and amendments to existing standards issued by the IASB are expected to have little or no impact on the General Department’s consolidated financial statements:
Amendments to IFRS 7, “Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011).
Amendments to IAS 1, “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012).
IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements” was issued in May 2011 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013).
IFRS 12, “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” was issued in May 2011 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013).
IAS 28 (as revised in 2011), “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” was issued in May 2011 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013).
IAS 27 (as revised in 2011), “Separate Financial Statements” was issued in May 2011 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013).
Unit of account
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), which is the IMF’s functional unit of account. The U.S. dollar equivalent of the SDR is determined daily by the IMF by summing specific amounts of the four basket currencies (see below) in U.S. dollar equivalents on the basis of market exchange rates. The IMF reviews the SDR valuation basket at five-year intervals. The last review was completed in November 2010. No changes were made to the basket currencies, but the weights of the four currencies in the basket were changed and became effective on January 1, 2011. The currencies in the basket at April 30, 2012, and 2011 and their specific amounts, relative to one SDR, were as follows:
Currency | Amount |
---|---|
Euro | 0.423 |
Japanese yen | 12.1 |
Pound sterling | 0.111 |
U.S. dollar | 0.660 |
Currency | Amount |
---|---|
Euro | 0.423 |
Japanese yen | 12.1 |
Pound sterling | 0.111 |
U.S. dollar | 0.660 |
At April 30, 2012, one SDR was equal to US$1.55055 (US$1.62096 at April 30, 2011).
Use of estimates and judgment
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about areas involving estimates and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are described in Notes 3, 13, and 16.
3. Summary of significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below comply with IFRS and have been applied consistently for all periods presented.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the GRA, the IA, the SDA, and the MDRI-I Trust. Control is achieved where the IMF has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All transactions and balances between these entities have been eliminated during consolidation.
Quotas and reserve tranche positions
The IMF’s resources are provided by its members through the payment of quotas, which broadly reflect each member’s relative position in the global economy. Quotas also determine each member’s relative voting power, access to IMF financing, and share in SDR allocations. The IMF conducts general reviews of all members’ quotas at five-year intervals. The reviews allow the IMF to assess the adequacy of quota resources to meet its financing needs and to allow for adjustments of members’ quotas to reflect their relative positions in the world economy.
Member quota increases are recorded when a member consents to the quota increase and makes the actual payment.
A quarter of a member’s quota is normally paid in reserve assets, and the remainder is paid in the member’s own currency. Should a member withdraw from the IMF, its quota subscription is refunded to the extent it is not needed to settle the net obligations of the member to the IMF. A member’s reserve tranche is equivalent to its quota less the GRA’s holdings of its currency, excluding holdings that reflect the member’s use of GRA credit. Reserve tranches result from quota payments in reserve assets and from the use of the member’s currency in the GRA’s transactions or operations. A member’s reserve tranche is considered a part of its international reserves and a liquid claim against the GRA.
Quota subscriptions and the reserve tranche positions are classified as liabilities as they embody an unconditional obligation to redeem the instrument, in the case of quotas only upon a member’s withdrawal from the IMF.
Currencies
Currencies consist of members’ currencies held by the GRA and securities (issued by members), which are non-interest bearing and are encashable by the IMF on demand. Usable currencies are currencies of members considered to have a strong balance of payments and reserves position that can be used by the GRA to finance the use of resources through a quarterly financial transactions plan, for lending activities, approved by the Executive Board. Usable currencies and the GRA’s SDR holdings are considered cash equivalents for the presentation of the statement of cash flows. Other currencies are not used to finance the use of resources by members, and therefore are not considered cash equivalents in the presentation of the statement of cash flows.
All currencies in the GRA are revalued in terms of the SDR, at each financial year end, and members are required to settle the currency valuation adjustments promptly thereafter. Member currencies are also revalued in SDR terms whenever used by the IMF in a transaction with another member or at the request of a member during the year, for example, at the end of each month. The currency balances in the statements of financial position include the receivables and payables arising from the revaluation.
SDR holdings
SDRs are not allocated to the IMF, but the IMF, through the GRA, can hold SDRs, which it can acquire from members in the settlement of their financial obligations to the IMF. In addition, SDRs can be used in a number of transactions and operations with members, including the provision of SDRs to purchasing members and the payment of remuneration on reserve tranche positions or interest on GRA borrowings. The IMF earns interest on its SDR holdings at the same rate as other holders of SDRs.
Credit outstanding
Credit outstanding represents financing provided to members under the various IMF credit facilities. Members receive credit in the GRA by purchasing SDRs or usable currencies in exchange for their own currencies. IMF credit is repaid by members by repurchasing holdings of their currencies in exchange for SDRs or usable currencies. Depending on the type of IMF credit facility, repurchase periods for GRA credit vary from 3% to 10 years.
An impairment loss would be recognized if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of a past event that occurred after initial recognition, and is determined as the difference between the outstanding credit’s carrying value and the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Such cash flows take into account the proceeds from the burden sharing mechanism, explained below. Accordingly, no impairment losses have been recognized in the financial years ended April 30, 2012, and 2011, and there are no allowances against the overdue positions.
Burden sharing mechanism and Special Contingent Account
The IMF excludes from income, interest charged on the use of IMF resources by members that are at least six months overdue in meeting any financial obligation to the IMF (overdue charges). The IMF fully recovers such income under the burden sharing mechanism, through adjustments to the rates of charge and remuneration. Members that participate in burden sharing for overdue charges receive refunds to the extent that the overdue charges are subsequently collected.
The IMF accumulates balances in the first Special Contingent Account (SCA-1) under the burden sharing mechanism. The SCA-1 is intended to address the risks posed to the IMF by overdue financial obligations. Balances in the SCA-1 would be used first if the IMF were to incur any loss from overdue obligations. Balances in the SCA-1 are refundable to the members that shared the cost of its financing, in proportion to their contributions, when there are no outstanding overdue repurchases and charges, or at such earlier time as the IMF may decide (see Note 10). Effective November 1, 2006, the IMF’s Executive Board decided to suspend, for the time being, further additions to the SCA-1.
Investments
The IMF has designated its investments in fixed-income securities (see Note 7), other than fixed-term deposits, as financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss. Such designation may be made only upon initial recognition and cannot subsequently be changed. The designated assets are carried at fair value in the statements of financial position, with the change in fair value included in the statements of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Recognition
Investments are recognized on the trade date at which the IMF becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A corresponding investment trade payable is recognized pending settlement of a transaction.
Derecognition
Investments are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or in transactions in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the investment are transferred.
Fair value measurement
A three-level fair value hierarchy under which financial instruments are categorized based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique is used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices) (Level 2); and inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3). When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument in its entirety. Thus, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable and unobservable.
Investment income
Investment income comprises interest income, realized gains and losses, and unrealized gains and losses, including currency valuation differences arising from exchange rate movements against the SDR.
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate.
Gold holdings
The IMF values its gold holdings at historical cost using the specific identification method. In accordance with the provisions of the Articles, whenever the IMF sells gold held on the date of the Second Amendment of the Articles, the portion of the proceeds equal to the historical cost must be placed in the GRA. Any portion of the proceeds in excess of the historical cost will be held in the SDA or transferred to the IA (see Note 8). Profits from sale of gold acquired after the Second Amendment are to be placed in the IA under the amendment to the Articles on the expanded investment authority of the IMF, while an amount equivalent to the acquisition price is placed in the GRA.
Fixed assets
Tangible and intangible fixed assets (see Note 9) with a cost in excess of a threshold amount are capitalized and depreciated or amortized over the estimated remaining useful lives using the straight-line method. Buildings, furniture, and equipment are depreciated over 30, 7, and 3 years, respectively. Software is amortized over 3 to 5 years.
Gains or losses arising from the sale of fixed assets are determined as the difference between sale proceeds and the carrying amount of those fixed assets and are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Pension assets
The IMF has a defined benefit Staff Retirement Plan (SRP) that covers substantially all eligible staff, a Supplemental Retirement Benefits Plan (SRBP) for selected participants of the SRP, and the Retired Staff Benefits Investment
Account (RSBIA) to hold and invest resources set aside to fund the cost of the post-retirement benefits. The pension plans and other post-retirement assets are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. Pension costs and expected costs of the post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits are determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method (see Note 16).
Borrowings
The IMF can borrow to temporarily supplement its quota resources. The Executive Board has established guidelines on borrowing by the IMF to ensure that the financing of the IMF is managed in a prudent and systematic manner. The IMF’s main standing borrowing arrangement is the enlarged and expanded New Arrangements to Borrow (NAB). The IMF may also borrow under bilateral agreements, in particular loan and note purchase agreements (bilateral borrowing agreements), the General Arrangements to Borrow (GAB), and an associated agreement with Saudi Arabia (see Note 11).
Borrowings are denominated in SDRs, and currently carry the SDR interest rate. The drawings under borrowings are stated at amortized cost.
Reserves of the General Resources Account
The IMF’s reserves (retained earnings) consist of the General Reserve and the Special Reserve. The General Reserve may be used to meet capital losses or operational deficits or for distribution, and the Special Reserve can be used for the above purposes except distribution.
The IMF determines annually what part of its net income, if any, will be retained and placed in the General Reserve or the Special Reserve, and what part, if any, will be distributed. Net losses are charged against the Special Reserve under currently applicable Executive Board decisions.
Charges
The IMF earns interest, referred to as charges, on members’ use of IMF credit. The basic rate of charge is the SDR interest rate plus a margin expressed in basis points that is determined by the Executive Board. The SDR interest rate is determined weekly by reference to the weighted average yields on short-term instruments in the capital markets of the Euro area, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Effective August 1, 2009, credit outstanding in excess of 300 percent of quota resulting from purchases in the credit tranches (including under the Stand-By, Flexible Credit Line (FCL), and Precautionary and Liquidity Line (PLL), formerly Precautionary Credit Line (PCL) arrangements) and under the Extended Fund Facility is subject to a surcharge of 200 basis points per annum above the basic rate of charge. Such holdings outstanding for more than three years after August 1, 2009, are subject to an additional surcharge of 100 basis points. Special charges are levied on members’ currency holdings that are not repaid when due and on overdue charges. Special charges do not apply to members that have overdue obligations to the Fund of six months or more. A service charge of 50 basis points is levied by the IMF on all purchases except reserve tranche purchases. A refundable commitment fee is charged on arrangements. Commitment fees are refundable if drawings are made under an arrangement and therefore income from the fees is only recognized at the cancellation or expiration of the arrangement, or to the extent access under an arrangement is reduced.
Remuneration
The IMF pays interest, referred to as remuneration, on a member’s reserve tranche position. A portion of the reserve tranche is unremunerated: that portion is equal to 25 percent of the member’s quota on April 1, 1978 (that part of the quota that was paid in gold prior to the Second Amendment of the Articles). For a member that joined the IMF after that date, its unremunerated reserve tranche is a percentage of its initial quota equivalent to the average percentage of unremunerated reserve tranche positions of all other members of the IMF in relation to their quotas when the new member joined the IMF.
The rate of remuneration is equal to the SDR interest rate. The rate of remuneration is the same for all members and (after taking into account burden sharing adjustments) cannot be less than 80 percent of the SDR interest rate.
Special Disbursement Account
Loans under the SAF are at concessional interest rates of ½ of 1 percent per annum. The last SAF loan disbursement was made in 1995 and currently one member (Somalia) has overdue SAF repayment obligations. Repayments of SAF loans to the SDA are transferred to the PRG Trust when received. Allowances for loan losses would be established if and when there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans has been incurred. No impairment losses have been recognized in the financial years ended April 30, 2012, and 2011, and there are no allowances against the overdue positions.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the IMF has a current legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of the amounts that are expected to be paid to settle the obligations.
4. Risk management
The IMF is exposed to various types of operational and financial risks, including credit, market, liquidity, and income risks.
Risk management framework
The Executive Board of the IMF has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the IMF’s risk management framework. The risk management framework encompasses primarily strategic, financial, and operational risks. As part of this framework, the Advisory Committee on Risk Management (ACRM) has been established to analyze, synthesize, and report risks. Annual assessments of risks are conducted to (i) appraise risks and efforts to mitigate these risks; (ii) report on the assessment of residual risks, after taking account of mitigation measures in place; and (iii) bring to the attention of the ACRM areas of residual risk. Financial risks are also reviewed as part of the annual comprehensive risk assessment exercise and on an ongoing basis in the context of specific policies.
Credit risk
Credit outstanding
Credit risk refers to potential losses on credit outstanding owing to the inability or unwillingness of member countries to make repurchases. Credit risk is inherent in the IMF’s unique role in the international monetary system since the IMF has limited ability to diversify its loan portfolio and generally provides financing when other sources are not available to a member. In addition, the IMF’s credit concentration is generally high.
The use of credit in the GRA by the largest users was as follows at April 30:

The five largest users of GRA credit at April 30, 2012, in descending order, were Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Romania, and Ukraine (Greece, Romania, Ukraine, Hungary, and Pakistan at April 30, 2011).
The concentration of GRA outstanding credit by region was as follows at April 30:
During the financial year ended April 30, 2012, certain minor changes were made to align members’ regional groupings with the IMF’s internal classifications.

During the financial year ended April 30, 2012, certain minor changes were made to align members’ regional groupings with the IMF’s internal classifications.
Measures to help mitigate the IMF’s credit risk include policies on access limits, program design, monitoring, pre-set qualification criteria, and conditionality attached to IMF financing; early repurchase policies; and preventative, precautionary, and remedial measures to cope with the financial consequences of protracted arrears.
The IMF has established limits on overall access to resources in the GRA. The annual limit is currently set at 200 percent of a member’s quota, with a cumulative limit of 600 percent of a member’s quota (net of scheduled repurchases), except for the FCL arrangements, which are not subject to these access limits. Two arrangements approved during the financial year ended April 30, 2012 had access in excess of these limits (five arrangements during the financial year ended April 30, 2011). Access in excess of these limits is granted in exceptional circumstances. There is no pre-specified maximum on exceptional access (except for PLL arrangements which have a cumulative cap of 1,000 percent of quota, net of scheduled repurchases), although the IMF assesses factors such as the size of balance of payment pressures, the member’s debt sustainability and its ability to regain access to financing from other sources, and the strength of policies to be adopted. Under such circumstances, disbursements tend to be front-loaded with smaller subsequent tranches. Access under a 6-month PLL arrangement is subject to a limit of 250 percent of quota per arrangement and, in exceptional circumstances where a member is experiencing or has the potential to experience larger short-term balance of payments needs due to the impact of exogenous shocks including heightened regional or global stress conditions, access is subject to a higher limit of 500 percent of quota, net of scheduled repurchases, per arrangement. A 500 percent of quota access cap applies to total access under 6-month PLL arrangements.
The IMF generally provides financial assistance to a member under an economic program adopted by the member to help it overcome its balance of payments difficulties. IMF financial assistance may be disbursed in tranches or the entire amount could be made available upfront. Apart from IMF arrangements, members can also have access to IMF financing through reserve tranche purchases, first credit tranche purchases, and outright purchases under policies on emergency assistance. Safeguards assessments of member central banks are normally undertaken to provide the IMF with reasonable assurance that each central bank’s legal structure, controls, and accounting, reporting, and auditing systems are adequate to ensure the integrity of their operations and help ensure that IMF resources are used for intended purposes. Misreporting by member countries may entail early repurchases for non-complying disbursements.
The IMF maintains precautionary balances consisting of its reserves (excluding any balances in the Special Reserve and General Reserve attributable to profits from gold sales during the financial years ended April 30, 2010, and 2011), and the SCA-1 that would be used to cover losses from possible overdue repurchase obligations. At April 30, 2012, precautionary balances amounted to SDR 9.5 billion, compared to SDR 8.1 billion at April 30, 2011. In addition, the burden sharing mechanism generates resources to offset the loss of income due to unpaid charges and thereby helps protect the IMF’s overall income and financial position.
The maximum credit risk exposure is the carrying value of the Fund’s credit outstanding and undrawn commitments (see Note 15), which amounted to SDR 215.8 billion and SDR 181.5 billion at April 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
Investments
Credit risk on investments represents the potential loss that the IMF may incur if obligors and counterparties default on their contractual obligations. Credit risk is managed through the conservative range of investments, which at present is limited to (i) domestic government bonds of countries in the Euro area, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, that is, members whose currencies are included in the SDR basket; (ii) bonds of international financial organizations; (iii) claims on the Bank for International Settlements (BIS); and (iv) short-term deposits held at the BIS. Credit risk is currently further minimized by restricting investments to financial instruments rated A or higher by a major credit rating agency.
The credit risk exposure in the investments portfolio at April 30 was as follows:

Market risk
Interest rate risk
Credit outstanding
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk is managed through the use of a floating market interest rate (the SDR interest rate) to determine the rate of charge. Interest rate fluctuations do not affect lending income because the IMF links the rate of charge directly, by means of a fixed margin, to the cost of financing (which is equal to the SDR interest rate).
Investments
The investment portfolio is exposed to market risk due to interest rate movements. The interest rate risk is mitigated by limiting the duration of the portfolio to a weighted average of 1-3 years.
The following sensitivity analysis assumes a 10 basis point change in yields reflecting the low global interest rate environment. The gold profits currently held in short-term deposits (see Note 7) are excluded from the sensitivity analysis. A 10 basis point increase in the average effective yields of the remaining IMF portfolio at April 30, 2012, would result in a loss of SDR 13.6 million or approximately 0.19 percent of the portfolio (SDR 11.2 million or 0.18 percent at April 30, 2011). A 10 basis point decrease would result in a gain of SDR 13.7 million or approximately 0.19 percent of the portfolio (SDR 11.1 million or 0.18 percent at April 30, 2011).
Borrowings
Interest rate risk related to bilateral borrowings, issued notes, and borrowings under the enlarged and amended NAB, is limited since drawings are currently subject to the SDR interest rate. The proceeds from the borrowings are used to extend credit to member countries, at the rate of charge, which is based on the SDR interest rate plus a margin, or to repay borrowings under bilateral agreements, note purchase agreements, and the enlarged and amended NAB. Under certain circumstances, higher interest rates can apply, in some cases requiring the agreement of the IMF.
Exchange rate risk
Financial assets and liabilities other than investments
Exchange rate risk is the exposure to the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on an entity’s financial position and cash flows. The IMF has no exchange rate risk exposure on its holdings of members’ currencies in the GRA since, under the Articles of Agreement, members are required to maintain the value of such holdings in terms of the SDR. Any depreciation/appreciation in a member’s currency vis-à-vis the SDR gives rise to a currency valuation adjustment receivable or payable that must be settled promptly after the end of the financial year or at other times as requested by the IMF or the member. The IMF has other assets and liabilities, such as trade receivables and payables, denominated in currencies other than SDRs and makes administrative payments largely in U.S. dollars, but the exchange rate risk exposure from these other assets and liabilities is limited.
Investments
In accordance with current IA rules and regulations, exchange rate risk on investments is managed by investing in financial instruments denominated in SDRs or in constituent currencies of the SDR with the relative amount of each currency matching its weight in the SDR basket. In addition, the portfolio is regularly rebalanced to match the currency weights in the SDR basket.
The value of the SDR is the sum of the market values, in U.S. dollar equivalents, of the predetermined amounts of the four currencies in the SDR valuation basket. The effective share of each currency in the valuation of the SDR fluctuates daily and depends on the prevailing exchange rate in the London market at noon against the U.S. dollar on that day. Since the proportionate share of a currency in the SDR valuation basket is determined by reference to the market value against the U.S. dollar, the exchange rate risk can be measured indirectly using the exchange rate movements between that basket currency and the U.S. dollar. The net effect on the investment portfolio of a 10 percent increase in the market exchange rates of the basket currencies against the U.S. dollar, at April 30, would be as follows:
2012 | 2011 | |||

Pound sterling | 0.28 | — | (0.76) | 0.01% |
Borrowings
The IMF has no exchange rate exposure from its borrowing arrangements since all drawings are denominated in SDRs.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk to the IMF of nonavailability of resources to meet the financing needs of members and its own obligations. The IMF must have usable resources available to meet members’ demand for IMF financing. While the IMF’s resources are largely of a revolving nature, uncertainties in the timing and amount of credit extended to members during financial crises expose the IMF to liquidity risk. Moreover, the IMF must also stand ready to meet potential demands from members drawing upon their reserve tranche positions, which have no fixed maturity and are part of members’ reserves, and for encashment of creditor claims under bilateral borrowing agreements or the NAB in case of balance of payments need of the relevant creditor member.
The IMF manages its liquidity risk not by matching the maturity of assets and liabilities, but by closely scrutinizing developments in its liquidity position. Long-term liquidity needs are addressed by reviewing the adequacy of quota-based resources. General reviews of members’ quotas are conducted at intervals of no more than five years in order to evaluate the adequacy of quota-based resources to meet members’ demand for IMF financing. The last general review was completed in December 2010 with a proposal for doubling quotas. Moreover, the bilateral borrowing agreements, and the enlarged and amended NAB, allow for drawings under these agreements/ arrangements in certain circumstances to meet requests for encashment by creditor members, or their institutions, in case of balance of payments needs.
Short-term liquidity needs for lending activities are reviewed and approved by the Executive Board on a quarterly basis through a financial transactions plan (FTP) for quota resources and borrowed resources under bilateral borrowing agreements, and the resource mobilization plan (RMP) for use of resources under the NAB. The IMF also monitors its short-term liquidity position using objective criteria such as the forward-commitment capacity. (Schedule 2 provides the GRA’s available resources and liquidity position.)
Investments
Liquidity risk on investments is limited by investing a portion of the portfolios in readily marketable short- and medium-term financial instruments to meet anticipated liquidity needs.
Income risk
The IMF has been relying principally on income from charges levied on outstanding credit to meet its operating costs. Due to its role in the world economy, the level of IMF lending fluctuates significantly, and in light of the current global crisis and increased lending activities, the IMF’s income risk has subsided in the current environment.
In 2008, the Executive Board proposed new and sustainable income and expenditure frameworks to close the then projected income shortfall. The proposals were based on the recommendations of a committee of well-known experts, appointed by the IMF’s Managing Director in 2006, to study sustainable financing options for the IMF. Key elements of the new income model include establishing an endowment using the profits from the limited sale of 12.97 million ounces (403.3 metric tons) of post-Second Amendment gold holdings, expanding the investment authority to enhance the expected return on the IMF’s investments, and reinstating the practice of reimbursing the IMF for the cost of administering the PRG Trust. The expenditure framework proposal included significant expenditure cuts over the medium term. In May 2008, the IMF’s Board of Governors endorsed these proposals and adopted the related resolution on the amendment of the Articles of Agreement. The gold sales were completed in December 2010, and in February 2011 the amendment to expand the investment authority of the IMF entered into effect after the required majority of IMF members had accepted it. The Executive Board is considering new rules and regulations to implement the broadened investment authority.
Operational risk
Operational risk includes risk of loss attributable to errors or omissions because of failures in executing or processing transactions, inadequate controls, human factors, and/or failures in underlying support systems.
The IMF mitigates operational risk by (i) identifying key operational risks, (ii) maintaining a system of internal controls, (iii) documenting policies and procedures on administrative and accounting and reporting processes, and (iv) conducting internal audits to provide independent reviews of the effectiveness of the control processes and risk management. The design and effectiveness of controls are evaluated continuously and improvements implemented periodically as needed. In addition, results of the internal audits are reported by the Office of Internal Audit and Inspection (OIA) both to the Managing Director and the External Audit Committee (EAC), which also exercises oversight on financial reporting controls, and the external audit of the IMF’s accounts. The OIA also provides periodic reports to the Executive Board.

At April 30, 2012, quotas exclude SDR 123.0 million receivable from South Sudan for its quota, which was paid in May 2012.
On June 24, 2010, and April 18, 2012, Tuvalu and South Sudan became the 187th and 188th members of the IMF with quotas of SDR 1.8 million and SDR 123.0 million, respectively.
Under the 2008 Quota and Voice reforms, which became effective in March 2011, 54 member countries were eligible for quota increases. At April 30, 2011, 36 members had consented and paid in full their quota increases which amounted to SDR 19.9 billion. During the financial year ended April 30, 2012, an additional eight members consented and paid their quota increases amounting to SDR 0.6 billion.
A reform package, approved by the Board of Governors in December 2010, will result in a doubling of quotas to SDR 476.8 billion. To become effective, the proposed quota increases will have to be consented to by members having 70 percent of the total quotas as of November 5, 2010 and the proposed amendment on the reform of the Executive Board needs to have entered into force. Members have committed to use best efforts to complete the required steps by the 2012 Annual Meetings.
Currency holdings include receivables and payables arising from valuation adjustments at April 30, 2012, when all holdings of currencies of members were last revalued, and amounted to SDR 11,597 million and SDR 4,737 million, respectively (SDR 8,259 million and SDR 6,811 million, respectively, at April 30, 2011). Settlements of these receivables or payables are required to be made by or to members promptly after the end of each financial year.
During the financial year ended April 30, 2012, the IMF approved Stand-By Arrangements (SBAs) for Georgia, Kosovo, Serbia, and St. Kitts and Nevis totaling SDR 1,204 million, extended arrangements for Greece and Portugal for SDR 47,527 million, and a Flexible Credit Line (FCL) arrangement for Colombia for SDR 3,870 million (for the financial year ended April 30, 2011, SBAs for Antigua and Barbuda, Greece, Honduras, Kosovo, Romania, and Ukraine totaling SDR 39,762 million, extended arrangements for Armenia and Ireland for SDR 19,599 million, FCL arrangements for Colombia, Mexico, and Poland totaling SDR 82,470 million (this includes a cancelled arrangement for Poland amounting to SDR 13,690 million) and a PLL arrangement for Macedonia in the amount of SDR 413 million). No arrangements were augmented during the financial years ended April 30, 2012, and 2011.
During the same period, drawings under SBAs and extended arrangements amounted to SDR 32,204 million (SDR 26,569 million for the financial year ended April 30, 2011 under SBAs, extended arrangements and PLL arrangement). There were no drawings under FCL arrangements during the financial years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011. Credit outstanding in the GRA and SAF loans in the SDA are carried at amortized cost.

7. Investments
Investments are held in the IA (SDR 14,244 million and SDR 13,171 million at April 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively) and the MDRI-I Trust (SDR 13 million, at April 30, 2012, and 2011) and are managed by external investment managers. Gold profits in the amount of SDR 6,853 million, from the limited gold sale program, were transferred to the IA in March 2011, and have been placed in short-term fixed-term deposits pending decisions on new rules and regulations for a broadened investment authority. A contribution of SDR 280 million was effected in June 2010 from the MDRI-I Trust, through the SDA, to the newly established Post-Catastrophe Debt Relief (PCDR) Trust. The investments comprise fixed-term deposits, short-term investments, and fixed-income securities, none of which include asset-backed securities. Fixed-income securities include domestic government bonds of the Euro area, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and medium-term instruments issued by the Bank for International Settlements.

8. Gold holdings
The IMF acquired the majority of its gold holdings from quota subscriptions and financial transactions prior to the Second Amendment of the Articles of Agreement (April 1, 1978). The IMF also acquired gold through the settlement of obligations by members in 1992 and 1999/2000. The Articles of Agreement limit the use of gold in the IMF’s operations and transactions. Any transactions in gold provided for in the Articles require a decision adopted by an 85 percent majority of the total voting power. Under the Articles, the IMF may sell gold outright on the basis of prevailing market prices but cannot engage in any other gold transactions, such as loans, leases, swaps, or the use of gold as collateral. In addition, the IMF does not have the authority to buy gold, but it may accept payments from a member in gold instead of SDRs or currencies in any operation or transaction at the prevailing market prices.
In September 2009, the Executive Board approved gold sales in a volume strictly limited to 403.3 metric tons. The gold sales are a central element of the new income model, which includes establishing an endowment to finance the IMF’s activities on a long-term sustainable basis (see Notes 3 and 4). For an initial period, sales were approved to be conducted only directly with official sector purchasers such as interested central banks (“off-market sales”). In February 2010, the IMF also began market sales with the involvement of agents with expertise in the conduct of such sales (“on-market sales”) but continued to stand ready for off-market sales. Sales on-market were phased over time and were conducted in a manner that ensured that such sales could be accommodated within the limit on official gold sales set forth in the August 7, 2009 Central Bank Gold Agreement.
The gold sales were completed during the financial year ended April 30, 2011. The total profits realized from the gold sales program amounted to SDR 6,853 million, after taking account of the book value (SDR 2,685 million) of gold that was sold. The realized gains from the sales of gold during the financial year ended April 30, 2011 in the amount of SDR 3,100 million were included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
At April 30, 2012, and 2011, the IMF held 2,814 metric tons, equal to 90.474 million fine ounces, at designated depositories. Gold holdings were valued at a historical cost of SDR 3,167 million at April 30, 2012, and 2011, based on a cost per troy ounce of SDR 35.
At April 30, 2012, the market value of the IMF’s holdings of gold was SDR 96.4 billion (SDR 85.7 billion at April 30, 2011).
9. Fixed assets
Fixed assets amounted to SDR 281 million and SDR 289 million at April 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively, and consisted of land, buildings, equipment, furniture, and software.

10. Burden sharing and the Special Contingent Account
Under the burden sharing mechanism, the basic rate of charge is increased and the rate of remuneration is reduced to offset the effect on the IMF’s income of the nonpayment of charges that are overdue for more than six months and also to finance the additions to the SCA-1.
Cumulative charges, net of settlements, that have resulted in adjustments to charges and remuneration since May 1, 1986 (the date the burden sharing mechanism was adopted) amounted to SDR 706 million at April 30, 2012 (SDR 699 million at April 30, 2011). The cumulative refunds for the same period, resulting from the settlements of overdue charges for which burden sharing adjustments have been made, amounted to SDR 1,320 million at April 30, 2012, and 2011.
Balances in the SCA-1 are to be distributed to the members that contributed toward the SCA-1 when there are no longer any outstanding overdue repurchases and charges, or at such earlier time as the IMF may decide. Amounts collected from members for the SCA-1 are akin to refundable cash deposits and are recorded as collections of usable currencies or SDRs and as a liability to those who paid them. Losses arising from overdue obligations, if realized, would be shared by members in proportion to their cumulative contributions to the SCA-1. No additions have been made to the SCA-1 during the financial years ended April 30, 2012, and 2011.
11. Borrowings
The IMF may potentially borrow up to SDR 368.1 billion under the enlarged and amended NAB, bilateral borrowing agreements and the GAB. During the financial year ended April 30, 2012, the IMF met part of its financing needs by drawing on bilateral borrowing agreements and the enlarged and amended NAB, in the amount of SDR 20,425 million (SDR 13,301 million from bilateral borrowing agreements during the financial year ended April 30, 2011). During the financial year ended April 30, 2012, borrowing claims totaling SDR 38 million were repaid following an early repurchase of credit outstanding by Iceland in the amount of SDR 288.8 million (none during the financial year ended April 30, 2011). With the coming into effect of the enlarged and amended NAB in April 2011, creditor claims under bilateral borrowing agreements may be folded into the enlarged and amended NAB at the election of the NAB participant. At April 30, 2012, most of the claims under bilateral borrowing agreements were folded into the NAB (see Schedule 4). Total borrowings at April 30, 2012 were SDR 40,046 million, an increase of 104 percent compared with borrowings of SDR 19,659 million at April 30, 2011 (see Schedule 4).
The NAB is a standing set of credit lines under which participants are committed to provide supplementary resources to the IMF when these are needed to forestall or cope with a threat to the international monetary system. Fourteen new participants, including a number of major emerging market economies, have joined 26 participants in the previous NAB (two of the new participants with commitments of SDR 3.5 billion had not completed the domestic process for adherence as at April 30, 2012). Total NAB commitments were SDR 366.5 billion at April 30, 2012 (see Schedule 4). Total bilateral borrowing commitments of members that are not NAB participants were SDR 1.6 billion at April 30, 2012.
The average interest rate on outstanding borrowings for the financial year ended April 30, 2012, was 0.30 percent per annum (0.35 percent per annum during the financial year ended April 30, 2011) and the interest expense on outstanding borrowings during the same period was SDR 83 million (SDR 49 million during financial year ended April 30, 2011).
Most of the claims under the borrowing arrangements are encashable, subject to certain conditions, upon demand by the lenders. IMF borrowing guidelines have set an SDR 15 billion limit per agreement on possible immediate encashment of bilateral loans and notes. The enlarged and amended NAB allows for drawings in certain circumstances to meet requests for encashment by members or their institutions in case of balance of payments needs. During the financial years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Executive Board set the mix between quota resources and bilateral borrowing agreements for IMF disbursements at a ratio of 1:1. Upon activation of the enlarged and amended NAB, the mix between borrowed resources under the expanded NAB and quota resources for IMF disbursements was set at 3:1.
In November 2011, the Executive Board, with the concurrence of the NAB participants, extended the maximum maturity of NAB claims from five to ten years, effective November 17, 2012. The new maturity will apply not only to new claims following that date, but also to outstanding claims. The bilateral borrowing agreements generally provide for initial terms of one or two years, which could be extended for additional periods up to a maximum of five years. Normally, drawings are repayable in three months but maturities can be unilaterally extended by the IMF for additional three-month periods for a total of up to five years to match the maturity of IMF credit under Stand-By Arrangements. Claims on borrowings and notes are transferable within the official sector, which includes all IMF members, their central banks or other fiscal agencies, and prescribed SDR holders.
Under the General Arrangement to Borrow (GAB) and an associated agreement with Saudi Arabia, the IMF may potentially borrow up to SDR 17 billion and SDR 1.5 billion, respectively, when supplementary resources are needed to forestall or to cope with an impairment of the international monetary system. The GAB became effective on October 24, 1962, and has been renewed periodically, most recently through December 26, 2013. The borrowing agreement with Saudi Arabia entered into force on December 26, 1983 and was last renewed through December 26, 2013.
In April 2012, the International Monetary and Finance Committee (IMFC) and Group of Twenty (G-20) Finance Ministers and Governors jointly announced an agreement to further enhance IMF resources through a new round of bilateral borrowing. At that time, firm commitments were made for over US$430 billion. This bolsters IMF resources that would be available for crisis prevention and resolution and to meet the potential financing needs of all IMF members. These additional resources will serve as a second line of defense to the IMF’s quota and NAB resources and as a bridge to the Fifteenth General Review of Quotas.

12. Remuneration
At April 30, 2012, total creditor positions on which the IMF paid remuneration amounted to SDR 58,712 million (SDR 49,192 million at April 30, 2011). The average rate of remuneration (adjusted for burden sharing) for the financial year ended April 30, 2012, was 0.30 percent (0.35 percent for the financial year ended April 30, 2011).
Remuneration consisted of the following for the years ended April 30:

For the financial year ended April 30, 2012, other expenses include the gain of SDR 13 million (see Note 9) on sale of fixed assets (none during the financial year ended April 30, 2011). During the financial year ended April 30, 2008, the IMF embarked on an institutional restructuring plan that involved voluntary staff separations, and a provision of SDR 68 million was made for expected severance and other termination benefits for separating staff, as well as outplacement and other direct costs. The restructuring costs were largely utilized during FY 2009-11. The provision at April 30, 2012 amounted to SDR 2 million (SDR 8 million at April 30, 2011).
14. Special Disbursement Account
Contributions to Administered Accounts
Assets in the SDA can be used for special purposes authorized in the Articles of Agreement, including providing financial assistance on special terms to low-income member countries.
Proceeds from the payments of SAF loans, Trust Fund loans, and excess resources from the Supplementary Financing Facility Subsidy Account are transferred from the SDA to the Reserve Account of the PRG Trust as contributions. During the financial year ended April 30, 2012, there were no contributions from the Supplementary Financing Facility Subsidy Account to the Reserve Account of the PRG Trust as contributions (SDR 0.1 million in excess resources were contributed during the financial year ended April 30, 2011).
For the financial year ended April 30, 2012, the IMF Executive Board waived the reimbursement of expenses incurred in administering the PRG Trust, and decided to transfer SDR 63.1 million (SDR 46.4 million for the financial year ended April 30, 2011), which would otherwise have been reimbursed to the GRA from the PRG Trust Reserve Account, through the SDA, to the PRG Trust General Subsidy Account.
Trust Fund
The IMF is the Trustee of the Trust Fund, which was established in 1976 to provide balance of payments assistance on concessional terms to eligible members that qualified for such assistance. The Trust Fund is in liquidation following its termination in 1981. Since that date, the activities of the Trust Fund have been confined to the conclusion of its affairs. The Trust Fund has no assets other than loans and interest receivable from Somalia and Sudan amounting to SDR 89 million at April 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively. All interest income is deferred.
15. Arrangements
An arrangement is a decision of the IMF that gives a member the assurance that the IMF stands ready to provide usable currencies or SDRs during a specified period and up to a specified amount, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement. At April 30, 2012, the undrawn balances under 19 Stand-By and extended arrangements that were in effect in the GRA amounted to SDR 51,104 million (SDR 46,944 million under 22 Stand-By and extended arrangements at April 30, 2011).
In addition, at April 30, 2012, three arrangements under the FCL in the amount of SDR 70,328 million (three arrangements at April 30, 2011 in the amount of SDR 68,780 million), and one arrangement under the PLL with an undrawn balance of SDR 216 million (unchanged from April 30, 2011) were active; see Schedule 3.
16. Pension and other post-retirement benefits
The IMF has a defined benefit Staff Retirement Plan (SRP) that covers substantially all eligible staff and a Supplemental Retirement Benefits Plan (SRBP) for selected participants of the SRP. Participants contribute 7 percent of their pensionable gross remuneration and the IMF contributes the remainder of the cost of funding the Plans. In addition, the IMF provides other employment and post-retirement benefits, including medical, life insurance, and other long-term benefits. In 1995, the IMF established a separate account, the Retired Staff Benefits Investment Account (RSBIA), to hold and invest resources set aside to fund the cost of the post-retirement benefits.
The defined benefit obligations are valued annually by independent actuaries using the Projected Unit Credit Method. The actuarial valuation carried out at April 30, 2012, includes the amortization of prior service costs of SDR 3 million (SDR 4 million for the financial year ended April 30, 2011). The amounts recognized in the statements of financial position for the SRP, the SRBP, and other employee benefits for the financial years ended April 30 are determined as follows:

17. Related party transactions
The General Department conducts its transactions with the SDR Department on the same financial terms and conditions applicable to participants in the SDR Department. The expenses of conducting the SDR Department, the SRP, the RSBIA, and other accounts administered by the IMF as Trustee are borne by the GRA. In addition, reimbursements are made by the SDR Department, the SRP, and the RSBIA, and some, but not all, of the administered accounts.
The following summarizes the inter-entity balances at April 30, 2012, and 2011 and the related party transactions for the financial years then ended:

18. Subsequent events
In June 2012 at the G-20 Leaders Summit held in Los Cabos, Mexico, further commitments were made for additional IMF resources through bilateral borrowing. This increased the second line of defense, in addition to the IMF’s quota and NAB resources, to US$456 billion from the commitments made in April 2012 of over US$430 billion (see Note 11). In addition, in June 2012 the IMF Executive Board approved modalities for member countries to make these resources available through bilateral loan or note purchase agreements.
