Belgian Monetary Policy under the Gold Standard during the Interwar Period

Chapter 7 in The Gold Standard Peripheries, 2012, pp 130-144 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The story of the re-introduction of the Gold Standard in Belgium after World War I is a very complicated one, characterized by several successive failures and successes. In order to understand the story fully, it has to be analyzed not only within the framework of the internal political situation in Belgium during the interwar period, but also by taking into account Belgium’s economic position as a periphery of the main players in the field of monetary policy, the US, the UK, France and Germany.
