The IMF said that it will tap the new resources to shield the global economy from the European debt crisis only if it uses up its existing resources.
One of the IMF's principles is that "the more you contribute, the more rights and interests you share", and China's increased investment in the IMF will give it extra clout, said Xiong Hou, a researcher in the institute of European studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
But in comparison to developed countries, China's IMF share is still relatively small, Xiong added.
The G20 Summit in London in 2009 agreed on a $500 billion increase in IMF resources and China invested $50 billion.
During the summit in 2010, the G20 leaders confirmed the 6-percent shift of quota shares to emerging and developing countries in the IMF, and were committed to achieving this by the annual meeting in 2017.
If the reform is carried out, China's quota in the IMF will be increased to 6.39 percent.
The EU's total quota in the fund is about 30 percent, followed by the US with about 17 percent.
In the Monday address, Hu said implementing the IMF quota reform is an urgent task.
During a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel ahead of the G20 Summit on Monday, Hu said that China will continue to support Europe's efforts in promoting integration and maintaining the stability of the euro.
A united, stable and prosperous Europe serves the interests of the world, including China, Hu said. The EU is China's largest export destination.
