Shultz Predicts U S Trade and Payments Surplus in 1974
U S Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz told the IMF World Bank meeting in Nairobi that the United States should run a basic balance of payments surplus next year for the first time in over a decade, with a trade surplus also anticipated. He said surpluses in both trade and basic payments appear probable for 1974, aiding dollar confidence and monetary reform efforts. A reform plan could be ready by next spring with intensive technical work, and finance ministers set July 31, 1974 as a target for an international agreement.
