interest rate on the financial instrument of each component currency in the basket,
and the exchange rate of each currency against the SDR. The SDR interest rate for
the current week is posted on Sunday morning, Washington D.C. time, on the IMF�s website.

Rule T-1 has been amended (see Press Release) and specifies that the SDR interest rate for each weekly period commencing each Monday shall be the higher of (i) the combined market interest rate or (ii) 0.050 percent. The combined market interest rate is the sum, as of the Friday preceding each weekly period, rounded to three decimal places, of the products that result from multiplying each yield or rate listed above by the value in terms of SDRs of the amount of the corresponding currency specified in Rule O-1. If a yield or rate is not available for a particular Friday, the calculation shall be made on the basis of the latest available yield or rate.
