Bill 8415 (\"FMI\"). The Chamber debated and voted it on 21 November 2024.
\nSittings: Sitting of 21 November 2024
\nBill 8415, raising Luxembourg's quota at the International Monetary Fund by about 800 million euros and extending the bilateral loan agreement, was debated and adopted by 58 votes to 2.
\nMaurice Bauer (CSV), arguing, as rapporteur, for strengthening the IMF in a period of geopolitical unrest:
\n\n\nAn Zäite vu grousse geopoliteschen Onrouen an Onsécherheet ass et ëmsou méi wichteg, an dëser Situatioun eng esou wichteg international Organisatioun wéi den FMI ze stäerken an iwwert dëse Wee hir Ressourcen auszebauen.
\n
In times of great geopolitical unrest and uncertainty it is all the more important, in this situation, to strengthen such an important international organisation as the IMF and by this route to build up its resources.

\nAndré Bauler (DP), announcing his group's agreement to the bill:
\n\n\nMir wëllen als Land de Multilateralismus stäerken an dowéinst gëtt meng Fraktioun dann och den Accord zu dësem Gesetzesprojet, fir de finanzielle Bäitrag vu Lëtzebuerg beim Weltwärungsfong eropzesetzen.
\n
As a country we want to strengthen multilateralism, and therefore my group gives its agreement to this bill to raise Luxembourg's financial contribution to the International Monetary Fund.
\nSitting of 21 November 2024, André Bauler, DP
\nTaina Bofferding (LSAP), pointing to the effect on the state budget if the IMF draws on the treasury bond:
\n\n\nWann natierlech elo den FMI dohinner geet an do de Bon de trésor zitt, da wäert dat natierlech e groussen Impakt op eise Staatsbudget hunn.
\n
If the IMF now goes and draws on the treasury bond, that will of course have a large impact on our state budget.
