Overview
This conference, organized with the Austrian Central Bank, Oesterreichische Nationalbank, and the country’s Federal Ministry of Finance, set in motion our overall program for 2014, Bretton Woods @ 70. Seventy years ago, The Bretton Woods international monetary system was launched with the United Nations’ Monetary and Financial Conference held in New Hampshire on July 21-22, 1944. The conference established a new international financial architecture with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as well as the most ambitious, comprehensive and far reaching international treaty. What can be salvaged from the current multilateral system? This first conference reflected on the past and on the future to start drawing the contours of the post western world, finding a balance between the advanced countries and rising states.
