Special Drawing Rights – In 1969, International Monetary Fund (IMF) created a new form of international reserve called Special Drawing Rights also known as paper gold in order to provide a back up plan if people loose faith in currencies and further start running after commodities like gold.

Additionally, SDRs are supplementary foreign exchange reserve assets maintained by the IMF as units of account for the IMF & not as a currency per se. The rights represent a claim to currency held by IMF member countries for which they may be exchanged. The value of SDR is based on a basket of particular currencies reviewed by IMF every 5 years.
