Preferred term

Bretton Woods  

Definition

  • The Bretton Woods Agreement of July 1944 laid the foundations for the system of international economic management after World War II. The core of this new regime was based on a series of fixed exchange rates tied to the U.S. dollar and supported by a set of institutions and rules for maintaining financial order. These arrangements helped provide renewed stability and economic growth during the postwar period. [Source: Encyclopedia of Governance; Bretton Woods]
