considerations

In all its decisions with respect to the allocation and cancellation
of special drawing rights the Fund shall seek to meet the long-term
global need, as and when it arises, to supplement existing reserve assets
in such manner as will promote the Inflatable Slide attainment of its purposes and will
avoid economic stagnation and deflation as well as excess demand and
inflation in the world.
( b ) The first decision to allocate special drawing rights shall take
into account, as special considerations, a collective judgment that there
is a global need to supplement reserves, and the attainment of a better
balance of payments equilibrium, as well as the likelihood of a better
working of the adjustment process in the future.
