Capricorn, December 27. Those born on the day tend to be service oriented in the highest sense of the word. They are genuinely concerned about the problems and needs of family, friends, and society as a whole.
They often have strong technical skills and yet know how to apply them to the benefit of everyone. And despite the fact that they often have a somewhat idealistic mindset, they are nevertheless capable of making (and making!) Quite a practical contribution to the life around them.
Those born on December 27 appreciate witty jokes and are generally good-natured. However, they also have a dark side that no one knows about except those closest to them. Their emotionality makes them deeply and sincerely experience all the blows of fate, but, by virtue of their character, they are not inclined to show their feelings to others and are therefore able to suffer in silence for many years before throwing out their suppressed resentments outward, perhaps in the form of aggression.
To avoid this, those born on this day should strive to express themselves more fully, not to restrain their emotions and, if the situation requires it, to act more impulsively.

IMF Birthday
The idea of creating the IMF was born at the UN conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA, in July 1944, when the 44 countries represented at this conference set a goal to form the basis for economic cooperation in order to avoid repetition of devaluation in order to gain competitive advantages. which became one of the main causes of the Great Depression of the 1930s, and also contributed to the restoration of the international financial system after World War II.
The IMF was officially established in 1945 by 29 founding countries, and became, along with the World Bank, one of the two international financial organizations established following the Bretton Woods conference. Currently, the IMF and the World Bank are collaborating in a variety of areas, and also hold regular joint meetings.
For 60 years, the IMF has continued to change and restructure. Since its inception, it has been shaped by history, and economic and political ideas of the time have had an effect on it.
Although the IMF is a specialized agency of the United Nations and participates in the work of the United Nations Economic and Social Council, it acts independently and has its own charter, management structure and finances.
Based on the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944. The International Monetary Fund:
- promotes international monetary cooperation;
- contributes to the stability of exchange rates and regulates the rules and regulations in the monetary sphere;
- promotes the creation of a multilateral settlement system and the elimination of currency restrictions;
- helps its members eliminate the imbalances in the balance of payments due to the temporary provision of funds.
The IMF has the authority to create and provide its members with international financial reserves in the form of “Special Drawing Rights (SDR)”. The financial resources of the Fund are formed mainly due to the subscription (“quotas”) of its member states. Quotas are determined by the formula, based on the relative size of the economies of the Member States.
The main financial role of the IMF is to provide short-term loans to members experiencing difficulties with the balance of payments. Members borrowing funds from the Fund, in turn, agree to implement political reforms to eliminate the causes of such difficulties. The size of borrowing from the IMF is limited in proportion to quotas. The fund also provides concessional assistance to low-income member countries.
The governing body - the Board of Governors, in which all member countries are represented - meets annually. The daily work is led by a 24-member Executive Board. The International Monetary and Financial Committee, whose 24 members are members of the Board of Governors, advises the Council on matters within its competence.
