Bill 119 HR 386, also known as the "Opposing Chinese Currency Manipulation Act," aims to prevent the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from increasing the weight of the Chinese renminbi in the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket. The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the IMF to supplement the official reserves of its member countries.
The bill requires the United States Governor of the IMF and the United States Executive Director at the IMF to actively oppose any efforts to increase the weight of the Chinese renminbi in the SDR basket. This is in response to concerns that China may be manipulating its currency to gain an unfair advantage in international trade.
The bill also includes provisions for reporting requirements and oversight to ensure that the IMF is not unfairly favoring the Chinese renminbi in its decision-making processes.
Overall, the goal of Bill 119 HR 386 is to protect the integrity of the SDR basket and prevent any potential economic harm that could result from the manipulation of the Chinese currency.
