Brazil's finance minister, Fernando Haddad, who has pushed for an increase in shareholding for itself, China and other fast-growing emerging markets, said in a statement that Brazil would support such a quota increase if it were coupled with an"ad-hoc" share increase for the most"blatantly underrepresented" IMF members.
Quota contributions, which are based on member countries' shareholdings, now account for only about 40% of the IMF's total resources, with emergency capital pledges and bilateral borrowings making up the rest. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen proposed the money now, shares later plan as a way to sidestep the China issue and speed resources to the IMF.
Ghana's central bank governor Ernest Addison, in a statement also representing host country Morocco and Algeria, Iran, Libya, Pakistan and Tunisia, said that the U.S. proposal"is not our first option"
