      Solution

      • The SDR is an  international reserve asset  created by the  International Monetary Fund (IMF)  in 1969 to supplement its member countries' official foreign exchange reserves (like USD, EUR). It is not a currency, but a potential claim on the freely usable currencies of IMF members. Its value is based on a basket of five major currencies (USD, EUR, CNY, JPY, GBP). The IMF can allocate SDRs to members to provide liquidity to the global monetary system.
