Many more members also showed their support for SDRs when the House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to pass legislation calling for a 2-3 trillion SDR issuance in 2020 and 2021. While this was prior to the 2021 issuance, the legislation called for multiple times as many SDRs as were ultimately allocated.
