The International Monetary Convention
Madrid, Spain
May 13-14, 2003

Overview
Although at the time of this conference some were starting to wonder if the international financial architecture debate was over, this notion was rejected by the experts that we gathered in Madrid and whom we asked to identify the key trends that would fashion the international financial system in the years ahead. Together conference participants examined the evolution of the international monetary system and the shifting debate on capital account liberalization. Proceedings of the conference were published in 2004 in a book entitled “The future of the International Monetary System.”
