Slide 3 - Evolution of the International Monetary System

The slide timelines the evolution of the international monetary system, starting with the Classical Gold Standard Era (1870-1914) of gold-backed currencies and fixed rates, followed by the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference establishing a USD-gold peg. It continues with the 1945 founding of the IMF for exchange stability and World Bank for reconstruction, ending with the 1971 Bretton Woods collapse and shift to floating rates.

Evolution of the International Monetary System

1870-1914: Classical Gold Standard Era Currencies directly backed by gold, enabling fixed exchange rates and global trade stability. 1944: Bretton Woods Conference 44 nations agree on USD-gold peg, fixed rates, and post-war monetary framework. 1945: IMF and World Bank Founded IMF promotes exchange stability; World Bank supports reconstruction and development. 1971: Bretton Woods Collapse US suspends gold convertibility, leading to floating exchange rates era.

Interest Rates and Global Capital Flows

  • IFIs shape global interest rates via lending conditions.
  • IFIs stabilize capital flows during economic crises.
  • IFIs monitor cross-border movements to reduce volatility.
