About this statute

This article sets out the purposes of the International Monetary Fund and says the Fund must guide all its decisions by those purposes. The article defines original members of the Fund and says other countries’ governments may join on terms set by the Fund. Members get quotas, and member States must pay the subscription and required gold/currency amounts to the Fund. The Fund may set an alternative date for valuing gold and dollar holdings, and it must agree to certain par value changes or raise no objection within set limits. Members paying higher quotas must pay part in gold and the rest in their own currency within 30 days; the Fund may adjust the gold share in some cases.
