Since 1994, we have convened high-level stakeholders committed to redefining the global financial architecture and monetary system to respond to the changing economic landscape.

Bretton Woods at 80

In celebration of the 80th anniversary of Bretton Woods, RBWC will host a series of high-level conferences and seminars across the globe.

This programming will be designed to develop a normative and practical agenda for a Bretton Woods in a new world.

To this end, we will seek to clarify how the international financial architecture can adapt to current challenges, paying particular attention to, among other issues, the need to revive global cooperation in an age of market fragmentation and policy divergence. 

As part of this initiative, we are planning a major conference during the IMF /World Bank October 2024 annual meetings in Washington DC.

In 2017 Michel Camdessus and Jacques de la Rosiere shared with RBWC their thoughts on the Inernational Monetary Order. 

 

In 1944 delegates from 44 countries gathered in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire in the United States to agree on a system of economic order and global cooperation. Eighty years later, the seeds sown there for the likes of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank still dominate the world.

But with the rise of countries like China and the rest of the global south, many think it’s time for a substantial rethink of those Bretton Woods institutions, especially in the wake of the recent meetings of APEC, G20 and COP29.

In this special edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann gets the opinions of Marc Uzan, Executive Director and Founder of the Reinventing Bretton Woods Committee.
