ABOUT THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS COUNCIL
This is a double-delegate committee.
In the wake of the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the early 1970s, the global economy faced uncertainty as fixed exchange rates unraveled and inflation surged. Tasked with restoring stability, delegates must address critical challenges, including currency fluctuations, trade imbalances, and the role of the U.S. dollar in global finance. Will they establish a new system of exchange rate coordination, reinforce central bank cooperation, or embrace market-driven currency valuations? As economic tensions rise, ECOFIN must balance national interests with global financial stability to prevent future crises. The world watches as they shape the foundations of modern economic governance.
