Eight Common Market realigns currencies in EMS move
Eight Common Market nations agreed to a major realignment of their currencies to ease money market pressure and aid Europe. The French franc fell 5.75 percent and the Italian lira 2.75 percent while the West German mark and Dutch guilder rose 4.25 percent. It was the second devaluation for the franc and lira in eight months. Finance ministers met secretly to avoid market disruption. The EMS third realignment since October 1981 reflects France’s internal economic issues and planned austerity measures.
