The government has entered into contractual commitments that require future use of financial resources. It has 

significant amounts of long-term lease obligations. Long-term operating leases in this note refer to those leases in which 

federal entities do not assume the risks of ownership of the underlying general PP&E, and payments are expensed over the 

lease term. The lease liabilities and assets arising from operating leases for FASB-reporting entities who have implemented 

FASB ASC 842, Leases, are recorded on the Balance Sheet in other liabilities and PP&E, respectively, and thus are not 

included in this Commitments note.

orders were $1,830.0 billion and $1,771.4 billion, respectively. In FY 2023, Education had a $51.4 billion decrease that was 

primarily due to a decrease in unpaid obligations from COVID-19 appropriations, as a result of payments during FY 2023. 

DOD had a $46.5 billion increase that was primarily due to an overall increase in funding from the CAA, 2023.

 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 128 

U.S. Participation in the International Monetary Fund 

The government participates in the IMF through a quota subscription and certain borrowing arrangements that 

supplement IMF resources. As of September 30, 2023, and 2022, the financial commitment under the U.S. quota and 

borrowing arrangements was $151.0 billion and $146.4 billion, respectively. Refer to Note 2—Cash and Other Monetary 

Assets and Note 27—Disclosure Entities and Related Parties for additional information regarding the U.S. participation in the 

IMF. 

Callable Capital Subscriptions for Multilateral Development Banks 

The government has callable subscriptions in certain MDB, which are international financial institutions that finance 

economic and social development projects in developing countries. Callable capital in the MDB serves as a supplemental 

pool of resources that may be redeemed and converted into ordinary paid in shares, if the MDB cannot otherwise meet certain 

obligations through its other available resources. MDB are able to use callable capital as backing to obtain favorable 

financing terms when borrowing from international capital markets. To date, there has never been a call on this capital at any 

MDB and none is anticipated. As of September 30, 2023, and 2022, the capital commitment to MDB was $130.2 billion and 

$127.9 billion, respectively.
