Britain Gains Support for Pound Standby Credit Plan
Twelve nations agreed to guarantee up to 2 billion dollars for about ten years to support the British pound during a transition and prevent another devaluation that could disrupt the international monetary system. The Bank of England confirmed firm willingness to participate as negotiations proceed with overseas holders, especially in the Commonwealth and Middle East oil regions. The move boosted the pound, which had feared a fourth crisis in as many years, with the pound rising to 2.3895 dollars on the day. France declined to join due to its own economic troubles, though the Bank of France endorsed the idea.
