Abstract: Following the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the international monetary system again sank into chaos. The international community made many attempts to rebuild the international monetary system. Some proposed the restoration of the gold standard, while others proposed to set up a system based on a basket of hard currencies, but no progress was made. It was only after experiencing five chaotic years in the financial market that the international community finally concluded the Jamaica Agreement. The international monetary system thus entered the “age of floating exchange rates”.
