  • The Reason Given for the UK's Decision to Float Sterling Was the Weight of International Short-Term Capital
    - Issue No. 181 No. 190, July 6, 1972 The Pound Afloat: The reason given for the U.K.'s decision to float sterling was the weight of international short-term capital movements which, despite concerted intervention from the Bank of England and European central banks, had necessitated massive sup­ port operations. The U.K. is anxious that the rate should quickly o.s move to a "realistic" level, at or around the old parity of %2. 40 - r,/, .• representing an effective 8% devaluation against the dollar. A w formal devaluation coupled with a wage freeze was urged by the :,I' Bank of England, but this would be politically embarrassing in the }t!IJ light of the U.K. Chancellor's repeated statements that the pound was "not at an unrealistic rate." The decision to float has been taken in spite of a danger that this may provoke an international or European monetary crisis. European markets tend to consider sterling as the dollar's first line of defense and, although the U.S. Treasury reaffirmed the Smithsonian Agreement, there are fears throughout Europe that pressure on the U.S. currency could disrupt the exchange rate re­ lationship established last December. On the Continent, the Dutch and Belgians have put forward a scheme for a joint float of Common Market currencies against the dollar. It will not easily be implemented, since speculation in the ex­ change markets has pushed the various EEC countries in different directions. The Germans have been under pressure to revalue, the Italians to devalue. Total opposition to a Community float is ex­ pected from France (this would sever the ties between the franc and gold), and the French also are adamant that Britain should re­ affirm its allegiance to the European monetary agreement and return to a fixed parity.

This report is more than the product of our deliberations; it represents the efforts and contributions of interested people, industry stakeholders in particular, to fulfil the mandate you gave us last May 2. This mandate is particularly opportune in view of the disintermediation, decompartmentalization and inter-sectoral convergence in Québec’s financial sector. Our proposal to create a single regulatory body, namely the Agence d’encadrement du secteur financier du Québec, satisfies, in our view, the clear need for simplicity and efficiency of a constantly changing financial sector. The recommendations in this report should make it possible to effect tangible improvement in the regulatory structure of Québec’s financial sector. … 2 Ms. Pauline Marois - 2 - We thank you for your confidence in us and remain Yours truly, Claude Béland Pierre Carrier Yvon Charest Pierre Comtois Pierre Laurin Dominique Vachon Yvon Martineau, Chairman FOREWORD The Task Force on Financial Sector Regulation, constituted by order-in- council on May 2, 2001, was instructed to analyze the regulatory structure of Québec’s financial sector and recommend measures to the Minister of State for the Economy and Finance regarding regulatory bodies and the improvement of this structure.
