12th Economics Book Back Question and Answer Tamil Medium & English Medium

  • Chapter 8 International Economic Organisations
Introduction
In the previous chapter, we have 
studied the basis of trade, gains from 
trade, terms of trade, BoP and foreign 
exchange. When trade takes place among 
countries, the developed countries always 
stand to gain and the LDCs suffer from 
adverse terms of trade as well as balance of payments and they affect their exchange rates. The Great Depression of 1930s and 
World War II led to purely nationalistic 
policies in which almost every country 
imposed trade restrictions, exchange 
controls and exchange depreciation so as 
to boost exports and to restrict imports 
considerably.
              The Brettonwoods Conference proposed IMF, World Bank and International Trade Organisation (ITO) in 1944. The IMF and World Bank were started in 1945. Instead of ITO, an interim arrangement was made and named GATT (General Agreement on Tariff and Trade). The GATT was transformed into WTO (World Trade Organisation) from 1995. The IMF, IBRD and WTO headquarters are presented in the table
