Europeans May Free Currencies in a Postwar Monetary Shuffle
European and British leaders weigh freeing currencies after Nixon tax and dollar ties move. The Common Market Commission meets in Brussels to assess impact on trade, while markets in Tokyo and Europe react and talks of a Group of 10 gather pace. Talks aim at a unified move toward partial or full float across six currencies and Britain.
Global currency crisis fuels warnings and policy moves
U S Treasury undersecretary Paul Volcker said no meeting agreement emerged after talks in London and Paris. Britain, Japan, West Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden were listed as participants. Japan studied future yen parity while 360 to the dollar remains, with some experts suggesting possible change. The dollar run eased after Nixon’s move, while Britain eyed contingencies to counter a flood of cheap Japanese goods into Europe. France’s Pompidou convened his first cabinet meeting on the crisis as Paris reopened the gold market, and France told tourists they could exchange up to $50 at the old rate of 5.45 francs. No limit was announced on exchanges.
