The god old days will not return, when G7 could do a Plaza Accord here, a Louvre Accord there and everything would be alright whiuel emerging markets were paying the bill ( see Lost Decade and Debt Crisis... Plaza Accord From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Plaza Accord or Plaza Agreement was an agreement signed on September 22, 1985 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City by 5 nations - France, West Germany, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom. The five agreed to, amongst others, depreciate the US dollar in relation to the Japanese yen and German Deutsche Mark by intervening in currency markets. The Louvre Accord was signed by the then G6 (France, West Germany, Japan, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom) on February 22, 1987 in Paris, France. Italy had been an invited member, but declined to finalize the agreement. The goal of the Louvre Accord was to stabilize the international currency markets and halt the continued decline of the US Dollar caused by the Plaza Accord (of which, a primary feature was depreciation of the US dollar in relation to the Japanese yen and German Deutsche Mark). The Louvre Accord aimed to improve the stability of foreign exchange by the mutual agreement of the G7 Minister of Finance meeting (i.e. a conference of ministers of the "group of seven") that had been held in Louvre in Paris in 1987. Since the Plaza accord, the low dollar rate advanced, and the low dollar rate/the yen up advanced up to one dollar=150 yen in 1987. The ministers of the advanced countries gathered at the Louvre in Paris to "put the brakes" on this; was assumed that allowing the dollar valuation to become lower than this might stall economic growth world-wide. The monetary authorities of the G-7 ministers agreed to cooperate to stabilize exchange rate.
