SDR is the basket currency including five major currencies, i.e., German mark, U.S. dollar, French franc, Japanese yen, and British pound. Presently, the dollar receives a 40% weight, yen 17%, mark 21% and franc 11%, and pound 11%. Weights for several currencies tend to vary over the time, reflecting the relative importance of each and every currency in the international trade and finance.
