Bretton Woods anniversary shows IMF and World Bank success
In July 1944 at Bretton Woods 44 nations forged the IMF and World Bank to stabilize postwar currencies and spur trade. Today the IMF lists 104 members with $15.6 billion in gold and currency resources, while the World Bank funds vast loans and a trusted global portfolio. A global gold pool and currency safeguards evolved, and new steps to strengthen IMF resources are planned ahead of Tokyo talks. The G ten members, plus Switzerland, push further cooperation as critics once called the plans fantastical.
