The Bretton Woods system of monetary management established the rules for commercial and financial relations among the world's major industrial states in the mid-20th century. The Bretton Woods system was the first example of a fully negotiated monetary order intended to govern monetary relations among independent nation-states.
The chief features of
the Bretton Woods system were an obligation for each country to
adopt a monetary policy that maintained the exchange rate by tying
its currency to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the IMF to
bridge temporary imbalances of payments.
