[...] dès que le cours sur le marché franchit un seuil (pair + frais), il est plus avantageux de «passer par l'or». Il y a naturellement deux seuils : le point de sortie de l'or qui est le cours du change à partir duquel le métal est envoyé au dehors et le point d'entrée qui serait celui à partir duquel l'étranger aurait intérêt à payer en or. [...] Ce mécanisme dit «des points d'or» a bien fonctionné pendant tout le XIXe siècle et jusqu'en 1914. 2, record 1, French, - point%20d%27or

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 2, 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 2, Spanish, - Fondo%20Monetario%20Internacional

Los Estados socios del FMI se consideraban incluidos en este patrón, al garantizar la convertibilidad de sus monedas en dólares, los cuales a su vez podían cambiarse por oro; si bien solamente por los bancos centrales. Aunque formalmente el patrón de cambio oro sólo desapareció en 1971, ya desde mediados de los años 50, al ser las reservas de oro de EE. UU., del Fuerte Knox, inferiores al volumen de los dólares de EE. UU. fuera de su territorio, la convertibilidad pasó a ser virtualmente incumplible. Esta situación de facto se superó por medio de acuerdos entre EE. UU. y los bancos centrales de los países con mayores reservas de dólares, que se comprometieron a no reclamar su convertibilidad; la excepción en este sentido fue la Francia de De Gaulle. 1, record 3, Spanish, - patr%C3%B3n%20de%20cambio%20oro
