特别提款权的中文解释

英文Special Drawing Rights的缩写。特别提款权是由国际货币基金组织(IMF)及其成员国所创立的一种特殊形式的货币，用以补充基金组织现有货币储备，并分配给成员国。特别提款权的价值根据一篮子主要交易货币──美元、欧元和日元来计算，并随这些货币汇率的波动而变化。特别提款权是IMF和一些国际组织的记账单位。它不是一种可流通的货币，也不能向IMF直接要求兑换，但特别提款权的持有者可将特别提款权向其他会员国交换上述主要交易货币。网址：www.imf.org/external/fin.htm

SDR的英文解释

Special drawing rights or SDRs are a form of special currency created by the International Monetary Fund and its member countries to supplement the Fund's existing reserves of currencies, and are contributed to by member states. The value of SDRs is based on a basket of the major traded currencies - the dollar, euro and yen - and fluctuates as the currencies themselves change. They serve as the unit of account of the IMF and a number of international organizations. SDRs are not a useable currency nor are they a direct claim on the IMF. But holders of SDRs can exchange them into these currencies.
