Summary of the IMF's Income Position Review for FY2010 and FY2011

I. Introduction

This document reviews the International Monetary Fund (IMF) income position for the financial years 2010 and 2011. It updates income projections from the FY2010 midyear review and outlines proposed decisions for the current and next financial years. The structure includes an analysis of the FY2010 income position, disposition decisions, the FY2011 income outlook, and a review of special charges.

II. Review of the FY 2010 Income Position

Key Income Components

• Net operational income: Projected at SDR 365 million, down from the midyear projection of SDR 440 million.
• Lending income: Expected to be lower by SDR 97 million due to delays in program reviews and reduced service charges, surcharges, and margin.
• Investment income: Projected at SDR 144 million, up by SDR 48 million from midyear estimates, driven by strong IA returns and lower SDR interest rates.
• Interest-free resources: Projected to be lower by SDR 5 million due to the reduced average SDR interest rate (0.25% vs. 0.3%).
• Gold profits: Estimated at SDR 3.5 billion, including proceeds from the limited sale of post-Second Amendment gold, which will be retained in the GRA for now.

Key Expenditures

• Expenditures: Expected to be higher by SDR 21 million than initially anticipated, primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations and increased costs.

Special Charges

• Restructuring costs: Estimated at SDR 12 million for FY2010, reflecting staff delays and pension-related expenses.
• IAS 19 timing adjustment: SDR 94 million difference between actuarially determined expense and actual funding.
• Pension reforms: One-off costs of SDR 19 million due to changes in staff benefit entitlements.

GRA Reimbursements

• SDR Department expenses: Estimated at SDR 1.664 million.
• MDRI-I Trust expenses: Estimated at SDR 1.164 million.
• PRGT expenses: Estimated at SDR 38 million, which will be transferred from the PRGT Reserve Account to the General Subsidy Account.

III. Disposition Decisions

FY2010 Investment Income

• The staff proposes that FY2010 investment income be transferred to the General Resources Account (GRA), increasing its net income and helping build precautionary balances.
• This transfer would align with the Fund's long-standing practice and support the new income model by reducing reliance on lending income.

GRA Net Operational Income

• Estimated at SDR 365 million, comprising SDR 144 million from IA and SDR 221 million from other sources.
• Staff proposes that GRA net operational income be placed in the special reserve (Decision No. 5), consistent with the principle that profits up to SDR 4.7 billion (based on an average price of $850 per ounce) will be placed in a permanent endowment.

Gold Profits

• The staff proposes to retain gold profits in the GRA, as they are intended for a permanent endowment. This decision is based on the need to align with the IA's investment mandate and the lack of current authority to transfer them to the IA.
• The transfer of gold profits to the IA is proposed for when the amendment to the Articles becomes effective.

IV. FY 2011 Income Outlook

Income Projections

• The income outlook for FY2011 is positive, with high demand for Fund financing due to the global financial crisis.
• Projections are sensitive to the timing of purchases and repurchases, as well as assumptions on the SDR interest rate and U.S. dollar/SDR exchange rate.

Margin for Rate of Charge

• The margin for the rate of charge is proposed to remain at 100 basis points for FY2011 under Rule I-6(4).
• This margin is set to cover intermediation costs and allow for reserve accumulation, not to fully cover all Fund activities.

Reserve Accumulation

• Reserve growth is projected at SDR 700 million, or 11% of beginning period reserves.
• This growth is expected to support the Fund's financial position in light of heightened credit risks.

Burden Sharing Adjustments

• The burden sharing mechanism for deferred charges is expected to continue, with income losses shared equally between debtor and creditor members.

V. Review of Special Charges

• Special charges include restructuring costs, IAS 19 timing adjustments, and the management of gold profits.
• These charges are managed through the Special Disbursement Account and are part of the broader financial strategy to ensure long-term sustainability.

Key Decisions and Proposals

• Decision No. 1: Reimburse GRA for SDR Department expenses.
• Decision No. 2: Reimburse GRA for MDRI-I Trust expenses.
• Decision No. 3: Transfer PRGT administrative costs to the General Subsidy Account.
• Decision No. 4: Transfer IA investment income to the GRA.
• Decision No. 5: Place GRA net operational income in the special reserve.
• Decision No. 6: Transfer full amount of available GRA funds to the IA for investment.
• Decision No. 7: Maintain lending margin at 100 basis points for FY2011.

Conclusion

The document outlines the financial position of the IMF for FY2010 and FY2011, highlighting the impact of lending delays, strong investment returns, and the ongoing restructuring and pension-related adjustments. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a stable margin for the rate of charge, managing reserves effectively, and aligning the Fund's income strategy with long-term credit market conditions and the new income model.
