The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the IMF, which is distributed to the IMF member countries in proportion to their quotas. The SDR is a liability that has no maturity date and, in practice, will not be due as long as the country is a member of the IMF. It should also be noted that the volume of the above-mentioned distributed SDR is also reflected on the asset side of the National Bank and, accordingly, the net liability of the NBG is zero. Since 2009, the IMF has changed its methodological approach to the SDR, which is why from this period the distributed SDR is recorded as a liability.
