| | Bretton Woods system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The chief features of the Bretton Woods system were, first, an obligation for each country to adopt a monetary policy that maintained the exchange rate of its currency within a fixed value—plus or minus one percent—in terms of gold; and, secondly, the provision by the IMF of finance to bridge temporary payments imbalances. | | | Bretton Woods established a system of payments based on the dollar, in which all currencies were defined in relation to the dollar, itself convertible into gold, and above all, "as good as gold." The U.S. currency was now effectively the world currency, the standard to which every other currency was pegged. | | | The big question at the Bretton Woods Conference with respect to the institution that would emerge as the IMF was the issue of future access to international liquidity and whether that source should be akin to a world central bank able to create new reserves at will or a more limited borrowing mechanism. |

| | The Bretton Woods Agreements of 1944 and 1945 established the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (or World Bank) and the International Monetary Fund. | | | The Bretton Woods arrangements sought to recapture the advantages of the gold standard - currencies that were exchangeable at stable and predictable rates into gold and thus at stable and predictable rates into each other. | | | The agreements formed the International Monetary Fund and International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (later divided into the World Bank and Bank for International Settlements), which are today known as the Bretton Woods institutions or Bretton Woods system for their origins. |

| | Bretton Woods |
| | The Conference rejected proposals by the eminent British economist John Maynard Keynes that would have established a world reserve currency administered by a central bank and created a more stable and fair world economy by automatically recycling trade surpluses to finance trade deficits. | | | By the late 1 960s, however, the Bretton Woods dream of a stable monetary system of fixed exchange rates with the US dollar as the only international currency was collapsing under the strain of US trade and budgetary deficits. | | | Instead the Conference opted for a system based on the free movement of capital and goods with the US dollar as the international currency. |

| | Benjamin J. Cohen, Bretton Woods System |
| | The Bretton Woods system is commonly understood to refer to the international monetary regime that prevailed from the end of World War II until the early 1970s. | | | Less obviously, Bretton Woods also provided evidence of the lasting effectiveness of regimes themselves even after shifts in the distribution of inter-state power associated with their origins or early operation. | | | The subsequent evolution of the Bretton Woods system may be read as the history of that implicit bargain. |

| | SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Bretton Woods Conference |
| | The Bretton Woods Conference at the end of World War II established the dollar, a solid currency backed by gold, as a benchmark currency for financing international trade, with all other currencies pegged to it at fixed rates that changed only infrequently. | | | As these twin institutions mark the 60th anniversary of their founding at the Bretton Woods conference in 1944, finance ministers from the big economies were savouring a renewed blossoming of growth in the Western world in what Raghuram Rajan, the IMF s chief economist, hailed as the springtime of recovery. | | | Remarkably, the conference singly laid the foundation for a new world monetary and trade system, establishing the World Bank and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and securing an agreement whereby the US dollar took the place of gold as the medium of international... |

| | Occasional Paper 34 - Financial Management of Globalization of Developing Countries |
| | As mentioned earlier, developing countries insisted from the inception of the Bretton Woods period that the nature of their balance of payments problems was fundamentally different from that of developed industrial countries, and could not be separated from the problems of development. | | | From the very beginning of the Bretton Woods period, developing countries insisted, both at Conference Forums and at Executive Board meetings, that their balance of payments problems were different from those of the industrial countries. | | | This was recognized as early as 1944, when the IMF was created at the Bretton Woods Conference, to provide balance of payments support to countries for maintaining an open trade system with convertible current accounts. |
