Korea/IMF

At the IMF, which comprises 184 countries, a member nation's quota determines the share of its voting power and is set in line with the size of its economy.

Quotas have remained low for many emerging countries in Asia, including China, despite the rapid expansion of their economies.

Japan has thus called for boosting such countries' quotas, to give them greater voting power reflecting their growing economic presence.(mainichi)

The organization would determine how much increase each country would acquire at its annual meeting scheduled to be held in Singapore next month.korea times
