Bretton Woods @70: Managing the Interconnectedness of the World Economy
Cusco, Peru
July 21-22, 2014
Partners
Overview
This 5th annual Cusco conference organized in cooperation with the Central Bank of Peru was part of our yearly program for celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Bretton Woods conference. During the meeting we explored a number of key questions: What are the dominant factors for interconnectedness? Has the global economy reached its integration peak? What role have international capital flows played for economic development? What are the difficulties of dealing with volatile capital flows? Is fear of floating still valid? Is there a case for seeking to broaden the sources of international liquidity? Are the Bretton Woods institutions sufficiently reformable to adapt to today’s circumstances credibly? Are we witnessing an alternative to the current framework through the creation of BRIC Development Bank, a contingency reserve arrangement and an Asian Infrastructure Bank? How might the international monetary system operate in the next decade:
1) a scenario of progressive and partial fragmentation and deglobalisation or
2) a progressive opening of all capital accounts together with some intensive convergence in financial systems and regulations?
