Switzerland joined the IMF in 1992 and, together with Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Poland, Serbia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, forms a constituency with a seat in the Executive Board. The combined voting power of this constituency is 2.77 of total voting power, with the Swiss share at 1.40 (as at 12 October 2011).
