The Fund's Income Position for FY 2013 - Midyear Update


Book Description

This paper presents updated projections on the Fund’s FY 2013 income position. The projected net income is now SDR 2.1 billion, slightly lower than the earlier projection of SDR 2.3 billion at the beginning of the year. The changes reflect lower projected disbursements under approved arrangements owing to delays in scheduled drawings and arrangements expected to expire with substantial undrawn balances, the expectation that funding of the gold endowment will not begin until FY 2014, and lower implicit returns on the Fund’s interest-free resources due to the prevailing interest rate environment.




Review of the Fund’s Income Position for FY 2013 and FY 2014


Book Description

This paper reviews the Fund’s income position for FY 2013 and FY 2014. The paper updates projections provided at the FY 2013 midyear review and proposes decisions for the current and next financial year. The paper includes a comprehensive review of the Fund’s income position as required under the new Rule I-6(4) adopted in December 2011 (see Box 1). Based on this review, no change in the margin for the rate of charge is proposed. The paper is structured as follows: The first section reviews the FY 2013 income position and the main changes from the midyear projections; the second section makes proposals on the disposition of FY 2013 net income, and placement to reserves; the third section discusses the margin on the rate of charge for FY 2014, updates the income projections, and reviews the projected burden sharing adjustments; and the last section reviews special charges.




The Fund's Income Position for FY 2012--Midyear Review


Book Description

This paper updates the outlook for the Fund’s income position for FY 2012. The overall outlook is broadly unchanged, with the FY 2012 net operational income now projected at SDR 500 million compared with the projection of SDR 482 million in April 2011. This primarily reflects additional lending activity, which is partially offset by lower implicit returns on the Fund’s interest-free resources owing to the prevailing interest rate environment.1 The actual outcome is subject to considerable uncertainty in light of conditions in the global economy, which could affect the timing and amounts of disbursements under current and potential new arrangements and the performance of the Investment Account (IA).




Review of the Fund's Income Position for FY 2012 and FY 2013-14


Book Description

This paper reviews the Fund’s income position for FY 2012 and FY 2013?14.1 The paper updates projections provided at the FY 2012 midyear review and proposes decisions for the current and next two financial years. These decisions include setting the margin for the rate of charge under the new Rule I-6(4) that the Executive Board adopted in December 2011.2 The new rule is based on principles endorsed by the Executive Board in April 2008 and that have guided decisions on setting the margin since FY 2009. Section II reviews the FY 2012 income position and main changes from the midyear projections; Section III makes proposals on the disposition of net income, and placement to reserves; Section IV discusses the margin on the rate of charge for FY 2013?14, the income outlook for that period, and projected burden sharing adjustments; and Section V reviews special charges.




A New Rule for Setting the Margin for the Basic Rate of Charge


Book Description

In April 2008, the Executive Board adopted a package of measures to reform the Fund’s income model. This followed an intensive work program building on the recommendations of an independent committee appointed by the Managing Director to study options for sustainable long-term financing for the Fund. The resulting new income model aims to broaden the Fund’s income sources and reduce its reliance on lending income as the primary source of revenue. This new model includes: (i) creating an endowment funded with the profits from a limited sale of the Fund’s gold holdings; (ii) expanding the Fund’s investment authority to enhance the expected return on the Fund’s investments; and (iii) resuming the practice of reimbursing the General Resources Account (GRA) for the cost of administering the PRG Trust




World Economic Outlook, October 2013


Book Description

Global growth is in low gear, and the drivers of activity are changing. These dynamics raise new policy challenges. Advanced economies are growing again but must continue financial sector repair, pursue fiscal consolidation, and spur job growth. Emerging market economies face the dual challenges of slowing growth and tighter global financial conditions. This issue of the World Economic Outlook examines the potential spillovers from these transitions and the appropriate policy responses. Chapter 3 explores how output comovements are influenced by policy and financial shocks, growth surprises, and other linkages. Chapter 4 assesses why certain emerging market economies were able to avoid the classical boom-and-bust cycle in the face of volatile capital flows during the global financial crisis.

Review of the Fund's Income Position for FY 2017 and FY 2018


Book Description

The Fund’s total net income for FY 2017, including surcharges, is projected at about SDR 1.7 billion or some SDR 0.7 billion higher than expected in April 2016. This mainly reflects the IAS 19 adjustment (relating to reporting of employee benefits), which is expected to contribute about SDR 0.4 billion to net income, and higher investment income. Lending income is expected to be modestly lower than the April 2016 estimates. The paper recommends that GRA net income of SDR 1.2 billion for FY 2017 (which excludes projected income of the gold endowment), be placed equally to the special and general reserve. After the placement of GRA FY 2017 net income to reserves, precautionary balances are projected to reach SDR 16.4 billion at the end of FY 2017. The paper further proposes to transfer currencies equivalent to the increase in the Fund’s reserves from the GRA to the Investment Account. In April 2016, the margin for the rate of charge was set at 100 basis points for the two years FY 2017 and FY 2018. The margin may be adjusted before the end of the first year of this two-year period (i.e., FY 2017) but only if warranted by fundamental changes in the underlying factors relevant for the establishment of the margin at the start of the two-year period. Staff does not propose a change in the margin. The projections for FY 2018 point to a net income position of SDR 0.7 billion. These projections are subject to considerable uncertainty and are sensitive to a number of assumptions.
