The discussion will delve into the significance of SDRs in the global economy, examining allocations, common uses, and other key topics covered in the course, such as the SDR valuation and SDR operations. It will conclude with an expert interview featuring a representative from the Government of Japan, who will share Japan’s experience with SDR channeling.
