Welcome to International Monetary Convention Project!
To mark the 60th anniversary of the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference that founded the IMF and World Bank, the World Economic Forums Global Institute for Partnership and Governance and the Reinventing Bretton Woods Committee, in co-operation with a number of finance ministries and central banks, have launched a year-long series of public-private roundtables on the architecture of the international monetary system. This private site contains conference papers, agendas and participant lists.
The technology powering the IMCP is part of a ground-breaking initiative from the Centre for International Governance Innovation called IGLOOTM.

"Following the international financial architecture debate of the 1990s, the system appears to be entering a new phase for which the agenda is still being formed. For this reason, there is an important contribution to be made by this sustained public-private dialogue on the arrangements needed to ensure the smooth functioning of the international monetary system."
-Richard Samans, Managing Director of the World Economic Forum's Global Institute for Partnership and Governance
"After outlining for several years the concept of a new international financial architecture, academics and policy makers are rediscovering that there is such a thing as an international monetary system. Without noticing it, the world is entering a period where there is at least a potential for refounding the system, with some new parameters that need to be identified."
-Marc Uzan, Executive Director of the Reinventing Bretton Woods Committee
