The RFI is a lending facility of the IMF that provides emergency assistance to member countries. The rapid financial assistance is provided with limited conditionality to all members facing an urgent balance of payments need. Access under the RFI is subject to an annual limit of 50 percent of quota and a cumulative limit of 100 percent of quota. Emergency loans are subject to the same terms as the FCL, PLL and SBA, with repayment within 3¼–5 years.
