What are SDRs in forex reserves?
SDRs SDR stands for special drawing rights. They are a product of the International Monetary Fund. Originally, when exchange rates were fixed, countries had to hold reserves of gold (or hard currency) against their currency outstanding in order for their currency to be exchangeable. There wasn't enough gold to serve this purpose, so the IMF created SDRs. SDRs represent "shares" in a basket of hard currencies. (Today those are the euro, yen, British pound, and U.S. dollar.) When first used, 1 SDR equaled 1 US dollar which equaled just under 1 gram of gold.
