“The U.S. should also examine increasing or decreasing its ownership levels in these institutions in order to achieve maximum leverage.”
What has happened
- Not started
United States ownership levels at the international financial institutions are unchanged and no examination of raising or lowering them was announced. Treasury's public reform agenda for the IMF and the World Bank is about mission, lending policy and energy neutrality, not about shareholding; no capital increase, share transfer or divestment was proposed; and Public Law 119-75 appropriated $1,066,184,000 for the International Development Association and $150,200,000 for the IBRD as trustee of the Global Environment Facility on the existing subscription basis.

Research notes
The one institution the United States left in the window — the Green Climate Fund, 2026-01-08 — is a fund the United States pledged to rather than holds shares in, and the exit is counted at #1971, not here.
