Short-term Capital Markets, the Private Banks, and the IMF

Abstract: Abstract Whereas the 1960s were dominated by concern over the global adequacy of international reserves, other aspects of international liquidity came to the fore in the 1970s and 1980s. Much attention has, for instance, been paid to the Euro-currency market, attempting to explain its growth and examining its implications for controlling world reserves, the world’s money supply, and international financial stability. Not unrelated to this, the activities of the private international banks have come under close scrutiny as, during the 1970s, they played the major role in recycling the OPEC surpluses that resulted from increases in the price of oil, but then started to backtrack as a number of the countries to which they had lent encountered debt problems.
