International currency experience: new lessons and lessons relearned
Article Abstract:
The Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates gave the world economy more than 20 years of growth and low inflation. However, it gave way to speculative pressures and was discontinued in Mar. 1973. The floating rate was implemented in the 1970s but was abandoned by the international community. Some lessons on the past exchange rate behavior are examined and their implications are presented for the redesigning of an exchange rate system.
