IMF fortsætter med at tale varmt for en rigtig global valuta, styret af en verdensbank.

"From SDR to bancor. A limitation of the SDR as discussed previously is that it is not
a currency. Both the SDR and SDR-denominated instruments need to be converted
eventually to a national currency for most payments or interventions in foreign exchange
markets, which adds to cumbersome use in transactions. And though an SDR-based system
would move away from a dominant national currency, the SDR’s value remains heavily
linked to the conditions and performance of the major component countries. A more
ambitious reform option would be to build on the previous ideas and develop, over time, a
global currency. Called, for example, bancor in honor of Keynes, such a currency could be
used as a medium of exchange—an “outside money” in contrast to the SDR which remains
an “inside money”."
