Which institution, founded in 1944 during the Bretton Woods agreements, has the main mission of ensuring the stability of the international financial system and lending to countries in difficulty ?

75% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: The International Monetary Fund (IMF)

The IMF was born from the desire to rebuild the global economic order after World War II. Based in Washington, he plays the role of financial “firefighter”. Its mission is to monitor the economic policies of its 190 member countries and offer technical or financial assistance to prevent the collapse of national currencies.When a country experiences a currency crisis or capital flight, the IMF intervenes by granting loans conditional on structural reforms. Unlike the World Bank, which finances long-term development projects, the IMF focuses on macroeconomic stability and the fluidity of international trade.It uses a single unit of account, the Special Drawing Right (SDR), composed of a basket of the five largest world currencies. This institution remains at the heart of debates on economic sovereignty and the regulation of global financial markets.
