Transcription

1 PROMOTING THE S TABILI TY OF THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL ARCHITECTURE AND MONETARY SYSTEM The Reinventing Bretton Woods Committee (RBWC) is a US-based foundation with 501c3 status that orchestrates an open and crossnational dialogue among high-level stakeholders committed to shaping the global financial architecture and to helping prepare key institutions for changes in the economic landscape. While policy directions for managing the stability of the global financial system rely on established public and private sector perspectives, RBWC engages a diverse set of stakeholders. The personal atmosphere at RBWC seminars and conferences, including many possibilities for cross-sector encounters, has played a decisive role for 20 years of success.

PROMOTING THE S TABILITY OF THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL ARCHITECTURE AND MONETARY SYSTEM

4 A valuable Partner RBWC was set in motion in 1994 with an initial conference, Reinventing Bretton Woods, that signaled the need for the international financial architecture to adapt to changes in the global economy having occurred since the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference. The first RBWC publication The Financial System Under Stress: An Architecture for the New World Economy soon followed. Since the creation of the G20 in 1999, RBWC served as an informal partner to this forum, co-hosting and organizing influential seminars and conferences. When, at the peak of the financial crisis in 2009, the G20 becomes the premier forum for international economic policy, RBWC remains a regular partner for each rotating G20 presidency. Most recently RBWC edited Bretton Woods: The Next 70 Years, an extensive volume focusing on specific steps that are needed to adapt the international financial architecture to anticipated challenges. A foreword by Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the IMF, precedes candid reflections from influential economists, leading representatives of monetary authorities and major institutions.
