Canada

Canada has been an IMF member since its founding and has maintained a consistent SDR allocation reflecting its G7 status. As a resource-rich economy with strong institutions, Canada regularly participates in IMF lending arrangements. Canada's quota share has declined gradually from ~3.3% to ~2.3%, reflecting the rise of emerging market economies. Canada advocates strongly for multilateral financial governance reform.
