The Chicago Economics Society is proud to host two distinguished Chicago Economics PhD
alumni who, as employees of the IMF, have played a direct role in the development of the IMF’s primary
unit of account. Topics will include the past and future role of SDRs in international development and global
financial stability, as well as the implications of the Chinese Yuan’s inclusion in the basket of major
currencies that determine the value of SDRs. Q&A to follow.
