Bretton Woods Agreement A 1944 agreement made in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, which helped to establish a fixed exchange rate in terms of gold for major currencies. The International Monetary Fund was also established at this time. This agreement governed currency relationships until the early 1970s, when a floating exchange rate system was adopted. Before its breakdown, the agreement was useful in maintaining order and accomplishing common objectives among the states that created it.
