Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | This is a full and authoritative history of the European Payments Union, a regional payments organization set up in 1950 by the member countries of the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (the forerunner of the OECD), with the help of the US, to provide a multilateral system of settling their payments, surpluses and deficits with one another and to foster liberalization of inter-European trade. It paved the way for the reintroduction of the external convertibility of European currencies at the end of 1958. The authors are supremely well qualified for their task: Dr Schleiminger was the German member of the EPU Board in the 1950s and subsequently General Manager of the Bank for International Settlements; Dr Kaplan was the US member on the Managing Board of the EPU during the same period. This book is intended for historians of economics and finance; banking; those interested in European financial institutions and trading arrangements. |
