4. Question

- Settle Balance of Payment transactions
- Supplement IMF member countries’ official reserves.

The SDR is neither a currency nor a claim on the IMF. Rather, it is a potential claim on the freely usable currencies of IMF members. SDRs can be exchanged for these currencies. It cannot be used to fund infrastructure projects as it is not a currency. Same goes for settling domestic financial bills of the government.
SDR allocations can play a role in providing liquidity and supplementing member countries’ official reserves.
IMF member countries can borrow SDRs from its reserves at favorable interest rates, mostly to adjust their balance of payments to favorable positions.
