China will go down in three of the most weighty of votes at the IMF

China on the basis of the forthcoming reform of quotas and votes at the IMF could take a third or even second place in the organization in terms of power after the main "shareholder" of the IMF - the U.S., reports Reuters referring to the working materials fund.

In such a scenario, which has not yet been approved, China will leave behind the "old" economic powers have traditionally been in the fund on the first cast - Germany, France and Britain.

Future redistribution of voting rights in the IMF will take a more prominent position in the fund of many developing countries, including Brazil, Russia, India, South Korea and Turkey, should be of document fund at the disposal of Reuters. The agency said that the developers have prepared four scenarios for reform of the redistribution of votes, three of which suggest that China will move into third place for "weight" in the IMF's current sixth position - more of the voting rights will be only in the U.S. and Japan.

According to one of the options for reform, China bypasses the volume of the voting rights in the IMF Japan and occupies second place behind the United States.
