The International Monetary Fund(IMF) is an international organization, formed at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944, to maintain monetary stability in the world community. The IMF works closely with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development(the World Bank), but directs its attention toward payment of external debts owed by countries with balance of payments deficits, rather than project financing. The IMF makes loans in the form of drawings(special drawing rights, SDRs) by member countries. 3, record 1, English, - International%20Monetary%20Fund

Una de las instituciones creadas en Bretton Woods en 1944. Es el organismo de las Naciones Unidas para la cooperación monetaria y el comercio internacional. Se basó en un sistema de patrón de cambios-oro, en el cual todas las monedas de los socios debían ser convertibles al dólar, siéndolo éste a su vez al oro a un precio fijo. Entre 1948 y 1973 el FMI aseguró la estabilidad de los tipos de cambio, hasta que los cambios flotantes se generalizaron tras la segunda devaluación del dólar (1973). El FMI, que tiene su sede en Washington, facilita recursos en forma de créditos automáticos (girando cada país sobre su propia cuota), créditos stand-by, etc., a sus socios, para hacer frente a sus dificultades monetarias. Desde 1968 emite los derechos especiales de giro. 3, record 1, Spanish, - Fondo%20Monetario%20Internacional
