Overview
This roundtable marked the launch of the International Monetary Convention Project (IMCP), a series of public-private roundtables organized by RBWC in collaboration with the World Economic Forum with the objective of making a substantial contribution to the debate on the arrangements needed to ensure the smooth functioning of the international monetary system in light of the emergence of a wider range of important national actors and the increased role of private capital flows. During this event, also scheduled to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Bretton Woods conference, senior policy-makers, leading financial market executives and some of the world’s foremost academic experts, met for the first in a series of collective deliberations that were supported by directed research and an online knowledge environment, on the international financial architecture.
