## Summary

**This bill would push for greater international scrutiny by using the U.S. voice at the IMF to secure more transparency about China’s exchange rate policies and related interventions.** It centers U.S. pressure on the IMF to get clearer data on China’s foreign exchange actions and to weigh China’s behavior when considering IMF governance changes. - U.S. Treasury and IMF representation: It would direct the Secretary of the Treasury to tell the U.S. Executive Director at the IMF to press for clearer reporting from China and stronger IMF surveillance during Article IV consultations. - Monitoring and markets: It would push the IMF to seek disclosure of any indirect foreign exchange intervention by Chinese financial institutions or state-owned enterprises and to flag significant differences from other Special Drawing Rights currency issuers. - IMF governance: It would instruct U.S. advocacy for treating China’s transparency and conduct as a factor when reviewing IMF quota and voting shares, and it sets a built-in end date to the measure. The bill includes a sunset that ends the authority 30 days after a U.S. IMF governor reports China is substantially compliant or seven years after enactment, whichever comes first.
