A situation in which gold and currency reserves leave the United States at such a rate that the nation suffers a balance of payments deficit. 3, record 1, English, - dollar%20glut
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
This situation occurred in the late 1950s and prevailed through the 1960s into the mid-1970s, beginning at first with large-scale foreign aid programs following World War II, continuing with heavy military spending abroad, and climaxing with greatly increased direct investments abroad... As a result, the dollar was overvalued in relation to other currencies-that is, there was an oversupply of dollars and a shortage of foreign currencies-and consequently had to be devalued(as it was in 1971 and 1973). 3, record 1, English, - dollar%20glut

Dans un premier temps, 1945-1960, le dollar fut rare (dollar gap) et ne fut donc pas contesté. Dans un second temps à partir des années 60, le déficit de la balance des paiements américaine créa une abondance de dollars qui justifia des demandes de conversion en or. 1, record 1, French, - abondance%20de%20dollars
