**Limit U.S. support for IMF actions related to CEMAC members until restoration funds are excluded from reserves.** This bill would declare that funds international oil and gas companies give to the Bank of Central African States for site rehabilitation do not qualify as gross foreign exchange reserves and would require U.S. IMF representatives to oppose IMF actions affecting CEMAC members until the IMF publicly confirms that treatment. - U.S. IMF engagement: Would direct the Treasury and the U.S. Executive Director at the IMF to oppose votes that increase IMF quotas or change exceptional access rules for any CEMAC country until the IMF issues a public clarification on reserve eligibility. - Extractive companies and BEAC: Would designate the Bank of Central African States as custodian for restoration funds and establish that those funds should be treated as ineligible for reserve calculations under IMF criteria. - CEMAC governments and investment: Notes an S&P estimate that the BEAC rule could cut government revenue by $86 billion and reduce capital investment by $45 billion by 2050 and says the rule could depress oil and gas investment.
