Nation to get $9b in SDRs

China is set to receive about $9 billion from the International Monetary Fund's Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) - the highest among all emerging nations - to boost its economy.

However, the nation is more concerned about whether it would get a better say in the running of the multilateral body to justify its growing economic weight, experts said.

Under the new SDR allocation, the US will receive about $42.6 billion, Japan about $15 billion, China $9 billion, Russia $6.6 billion, India $4.5 billion and Brazil $3 billion.
