The Republic of Montenegro has become the 185th member of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The Articles of Agreement were signed in Washington DC today by Mr. Ljubiša Krgovic, President of the Council of the Central Bank of Montenegro. Montenegro's Finance Minister, Igor Luksic attended the signing ceremony.
The Republic of Montenegro's initial quota1 in the IMF is SDR 27.5 million (about US$41.2 million). With the admission of Montenegro, total members' quotas in the IMF rises to SDR 216.75 billion (about US$325.01 billion).
IMF Managing Director Rodrigo de Rato issued the following statement to mark Montenegro's membership in the Fund:
"Finance Minister Luksic, Governor Krgovic and other distinguished delegates; it is an honor for me today to welcome Montenegro to the International Monetary Fund, as our 185th member. Today's events—marking Montenegro's membership in the IMF and World Bank—represent another decisive step in the process of nation building."
"Montenegro is claiming its place as a respected member of the global community of nations, and it is demonstrating its commitment to meet the responsibilities and reap the benefits of international cooperation.”
"Montenegro's transition to independence has been impressive, economic activity has recovered, and the country has increasingly become the focus of investor interest. Yet the future holds many challenges."
"Achieving a sustained increase in prosperity will require sound economic management, in order to establish the conditions for economic growth and stability—not least in harnessing the benefits of strong foreign direct investment and tourism for the country's future development.”
