Title 22 › Chapter 7— INTERNATIONAL BUREAUS, CONGRESSES, ETC. › Subchapter XV— INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND AND BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT › § 286vv
Allows the United States Governor of the Bank to vote for two capital increases and to sign up the United States for specific extra shares. The Governor may approve a selective increase of 230,374 shares and subscribe for 38,459 extra shares for the United States, and may approve a general increase of 484,102 shares and subscribe for 81,074 extra shares for the United States. Any subscription for those extra shares only takes effect if Congress provides the money in advance in appropriations acts. Congress authorizes the Treasury to pay up to $9,780,361,991 for the general increase, divided into $586,821,720 for paid-in shares and $9,193,540,271 for callable shares. It also authorizes up to $4,639,501,466 for the selective increase, divided into $278,370,088 for paid-in shares and $4,361,131,378 for callable shares. Paid-in shares are money paid now; callable shares are money the U.S. promises to pay if needed.
