Collection: Establishing the Post-War International Order, 1944-1961    Volumes    Documents relating to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), 1944-1961

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) was established in 1945 as part of the Bretton Woods Agreement. Its primary purpose was to ensure the stability of the international monetary system through increased cooperation and oversight, as well as a borrowing mechanism for member states. 

This volume contains records from five British government departments—the Board of Trade, Foreign Office, Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Treasury, and Treasury Solicitor and Procurator General's Department—that focus on the IMF. The records cover the period 1944–1961.
