History: IMF and World Bank
• After the Great Depression in the 1930s there was a need for an organization to create a system for exchange rate stability
– Uncertainty of the value of paper money (no longer used the gold standard)
– Countries began cheating other countries in trade
• Countries’ economies affected by WWII– need for reconstruction in well-developed nations– need for development in the lesser developed nations
