News and current affairs

The recommendation to enlarge the SDR basket has been warmly backed by Christine Lagarde, the IMF's managing director, and a final decision by the Fund's executive board is expected at the end of the month.

Once a basket-case associated in the world's eyes only with famine and drought, Ethiopia has become one of Africa's largest economies - and without the benefit of gold or oil.

A country with sound public finances can thus become a fiscal basket case practically overnight.

Even before the disaster of Kosovo, Serbia was an economic basket case.

According to almost every economic and financial criterion, the SDR basket should now include China's renminbi.

In December, the International Monetary Fund will consider adding renminbi to the basket of currencies that comprise the Fund's unit of account, known as Special Drawing Rights, alongside the US dollar, the euro, the British pound, and the Japanese yen.

Greece, however, remains a basket case.

There are small countries - Haiti, for example - as well as large - Nigeria - where the economies are basket cases.

A futures market for the complete market basket that consumers buy certainly rings with importance.

This basket should include, at the very least, preferred shares and bonds.

His influence on Margaret Thatcher's government helped transform Britain from a post-industrial basket case dominated by class struggle into Europe's dominant economic power.

North Korea, which never had a transition and maintains heavy-handed central planning, is an economic basket case.

But there is a second, unchanging element in North Korean affairs: its basket-case economy.

But Russia is no economic basket-case-in-waiting - at least not yet.

Last week, IMF staff formally recommended adding the renminbi to the basket of currencies that determines the value of its so-called Special Drawing Rights (SDRs).

The addition of the renminbi to the basket, which currently includes the US dollar, the euro, the British pound, and the Japanese yen, would provide China with a boost to its prestige.

On a purely technical basis, the renminbi's qualifications for inclusion in the SDR basket are questionable.

The renminbi is by no means in the same league as the SDR basket's four incumbent currencies.

The decision to add the renminbi to the SDR basket may have put that danger into remission.

Nor is inclusion of the renminbi in the SDR basket likely to provide as big a boost to the currency's internationalization as many believe.

Some central banks may decide to follow suit, adding renminbi-denominated assets to their reserves to match the composition of the basket.

As a result, placing so many eggs in one basket leaves the business of aid provision looking increasingly risky.

And there could be no more credible signal than US support for the renminbi's addition to the basket of currencies that the IMF uses to value its international reserve asset, the Special Drawing Right.

Relative to the US dollar, an equal-weighted basket of 10 major Asian currencies (excluding Japan) has retraced the crisis-related distortions of 2008-2009 and has now returned to pre-crisis highs.
