Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The IMF negotiated to borrow from the "Group of Ten" and Switzerland under the General Arrangements to Borrow (GAB). The GAB is a borrowing arrangement that allows the IMF to supplement its resources by borrowing from member countries or their central banks in exchange for their own currencies. This was done in the 1960s to address the issues of limited resources available to the IMF, and to ensure that it could respond quickly to balance of payments problems faced by member countries.
