The IMF's "voting rules" are similar to joint-stock companies. The design of voting rights rules is calculated according to the GDP, trade openness and foreign exchange reserves of each country. Whoever is more important can subscribe for more shares from the IMF (654.38+ million dollars per ticket), thus gaining the right to vote. At the beginning of the IMF's establishment, it not only allocated voting rights according to the contributions of member countries to the IMF, but also allocated equal basic voting rights to each country.

However, since the establishment of the Fund, the total voting rights of the Fund have increased by 37 times, and the proportion of basic voting rights in the total voting rights has dropped from 1 1.3% in that year to 2. 1% today. The principle of one country, one vote completely gave way to the principle of 65438+ one million dollars, one vote.

At present, the United States exclusively enjoys the voting rights and the share of 16.77% of the organization, while the voting rights and share of the European Union account for 3 1.98% and 32.38% respectively. The voting rights and shares of BRIC countries in the IMF only account for 9.62% and 9.76% respectively, while China only accounts for 3.66% and 3.72%. (
