        The International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced on Friday that its Special Drawing Rights basket of currencies will for the first time include the renminbi (RMB) as of Oct 1, the start of China's National Day holiday.

        "The expansion of the SDR basket is an important and historic milestone for the SDR, the Fund, China and the international monetary system. It is a significant change for the Fund, because it is the first time since the adoption of the euro that a currency is added to the basket," IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde told reporters at the IMF headquarters in Washington on Friday.

        As approved by the IMF Executive Board on Nov 30, 2015, the RMB, also known as the yuan, is determined to be a freely usable currency and will be included in the SDR basket as a fifth currency effective Oct 1, along with the US dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound.

        The board also decided at the time that the weights of each currency would be 41.73 per cent for the US dollar; 30.93 percent for Euro; 10.92 per cent for the RMB, also known as the yuan; 8.33 per cent for the Japanese yen and 8.09 per cent for the British pound sterling.

        "The renminbi inclusion reflects the progress made in reforming China's monetary, foreign exchange, and financial systems, and acknowledges the advances made in liberalizing and improving the infrastructure of its financial markets," Lagarde said.

        "The continuation and deepening of these efforts, with appropriate safeguards, will bring about a more robust international monetary and financial system, which in turn will support the growth and stability of China and the global economy," she said.

        The fifth most-powerful woman in the world, according to Forbes magazine, said this milestone also reflects the ongoing evolution of the global economy. "The Fund plays an important role in this evolving process, and the inclusion of the RMB in the SDR basket shows once again that the Fund stands ready to adapt to change," said Lagarde, who began her second five-year term in July.
