  1. Which unit of valuation is known as “Paper gold”?
    1. Eurodollar
    2. Petrodollar
    3. SDR
    4. GDR
Correct Option: C

Paper Gold is a measure of a country’s reserve assets in the international monetary system. It is also called Special Drawing Rights (SDR) which is an international reserve asset, created by the IMF in 1969 to supplement its member countries’ official reserves. Its value is based on a basket of four key international currencies, and SDRs can be exchanged for freely usable currencies. SDRs may actually represent a potential claim on IMF member countries’ non-gold foreign exchange reserve assets, which are usually held in those currencies.
