Backers say in practice Russia would be hard pressed to find any country to swap its SDRs into hard currencies.

The letter, signed by Action Corps, Arab Watch Coalition, Center for Economic and Policy Research and other groups from around the world, said over 100 countries had used last year’s SDR allocation in the first year.
