Financial Assistance  
     GRA The General Resources Account (GRA) contains the IMF's financial resources arising from members' subscriptions (quotas), its holdings of SDRs and gold, and any borrowed resources.
          Purchases GRA resources disbursed to members during the period (outflows).
          Repurchases GRA resources repaid by members during the period (reflows).
          Credit outstanding Total GRA resources disbursed less repayments.
   
     PRGF The Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF), formerly known as the Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF), provides loans at a concessional interest rate to eligible, low-income members. PRGF financing is conducted through the PRGF Trust.
          Disbursements Disbursements of PRGF loans during the period.
          Repayments Repayments of PRGF and Structural Adjustment Facility loans during the period.
          Credit outstanding Total PRGF loan disbursements less repayments (including credit outstanding under Trust Fund and Structural Adjustment Facility (SAF)).
     HIPC Assistance provided to eligible countries under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative.
          Commitments Cumulative commitments made to HIPC-eligible members that have reached the decision point under the HIPC Initiative.
          Disbursements Cumulative grants to members eligible for financial assistance under the HIPC Initiative to be used to help meet debt service payments to the IMF.
Available Resources  
          Usable resources Usable resources consist of: (1) the IMF's holdings of currencies of those members considered financially strong enough to support the extension of Fund credits (members that are included in the IMF's quarterly financial transactions plan), (2) the IMF's holdings of SDRs, and (3) balances available under activated borrowing agreements (General Arrangements to Borrow and New Arrangements to Borrow).
          Net uncommitted usable
               resources		 Usable resources less undisbursed commitments under existing active arrangements (with commitments under precautionary arrangements counted at 50 percent), less working balances (10 percent of the quotas of countries in the financial transactions plan).
          Liquid liabilities Members' reserve positions in the IMF, i.e., reserve tranche positions plus any lending to the IMF under the GAB/NAB.
          Liquidity ratio The ratio of net uncommitted usable resources to liquid liabilities.
     PRGF Trust Trust administered by the IMF to conduct PRGF-related operations through the Loan, Reserve and Subsidy Accounts.
          Available loan resources Loan Account resources committed by lenders to the PRGF Trust, plus resources under an associated loan agreement with the Saudi Fund for Development.
          Cumulative commitments,
                  net		 Cumulative commitments to borrowers, net of unused amounts under arrangements which have expired or have been canceled.
          Of which, cumulative
               disbursements		 Disbursements to borrowers under PRGF arrangements.
          Uncommitted loan resources Available PRGF loan resources less commitments made to PRGF borrowers.
     PRGF-HIPC Trust The trust holds resources (contributions of grants plus investment income) used to provide assistance to eligible members under the HIPC Initiative and subsidies for the continuation of concessional PRGF loans. Three separate sub-accounts are maintained:
          PRGF-HIPC sub-account Resources to support either PRGF or HIPC operations.
          HIPC sub-account Resources for HIPC operations only.
          PRGF sub-account Resources for PRGF subsidies only.
Arrears  
     GRA Total overdue GRA financial obligations.
     PRGF Total overdue PRGF financial obligations.
     Trust Fund and other Total overdue financial obligations to the Trust Fund, Structural Adjustment Facility (SAF), and SDR Department. Although the Trust Fund and SAF are no longer operational, arrears to the Trust Fund and SAF consist of overdue repayments, interest, or charges on loans provided under these facilities. Arrears in the SDR Department are incurred on any unpaid charges.
Rates  
     US$ per SDR Exchange rate for the U.S. dollar in terms of the SDR.
     SDR interest rate Interest rate calculated as a weighted average of three month market interest rates on U.S. dollar, euro, Japanese yen and pound sterling assets.
     Rate of charge, adjusted Interest rate charged on GRA loans to cover the IMF's cost of financing, additions to reserves, and administrative expenses. Adjusted by a small margin to allow for special additions to reserves and to compensate for income forgone because of charges in arrears.
     Rate of remuneration, adjusted Interest rate paid to members that provide resources to the IMF. Adjusted by a small margin to allow for special additions to reserves and to compensate for income forgone because of charges in arrears.

Table 2a. and 2b. Current Financial Arrangements (GRA and PRGF)
Term Definition
Arrangements IMF credit is made available under a variety of borrowing arrangements with different disbursement schedules and maturities depending on the balance of payment needs of the member.
     Stand-By Arrangements The most common type of credit arrangement designed to provide short-term financial assistance. Purchases under Stand-By Arrangements are repayable in 8 quarterly installments 3¼-5 years after drawdown.
     Extended Arrangements Extended Arrangements provide credit for a longer period since these arrangements usually require fundamental reforms which may need more time to put in place and take effect. Drawings under extended arrangements are repayable in 12 semiannual installments 4½ - 10 years after drawdown.
     PRGF Arrangements Concessional arrangements providing credit at an interest rate of ½ of 1 percent to eligible low-income members. The loans are repayable in 10 equal semiannual installments 5½ -10 years after drawdown.
   
Arrangement Details  
     Next Scheduled Review IMF financial arrangements are reviewed regularly to assess progress in policy reforms. The disbursement of funds under an arrangement is linked to the achievement of certain financial targets.
     Approval Date Date the arrangement was approved by the Executive Board.
     Expiration Date Arrangements have a specified duration. Commitments are no longer available after the expiration of the arrangement.
     Amount Committed Amount of credit available under an arrangement.
     Undrawn Balance Amount of credit available under an arrangement but not yet drawn.
     IMF Credit Outstanding Total resources outstanding to the member.

Table 3. Status of Commitments of HIPC Assistance
Term Definition
Decision Point Point at which the IMF decides whether a member qualifies for assistance under the HIPC Initiative (normally at the end of the initial three-year performance period) and decides on the amount of assistance to be committed.
Completion Point Point at which the country receives the bulk of its assistance under the HIPC Initiative, without any further policy conditions. Under the enhanced HIPC Initiative, the timing of the completion point is linked to the implementation of pre-agreed key structural reforms (i.e., floating completion point).
Amount Committed Amount of HIPC assistance determined, in consultation with the World Bank, at the decision point to be made available by the IMF.
Amount Disbursed Resources disbursed to the member to help meet debt service payments to the IMF.
