虽然国际货币基金组织在1970年中期发布了一份关于汇率问题的高级别报告，并承诺实施更高汇率灵活性的相关原则，但它既未提出任何新理念去吸引各国加入，也未对那些拒绝加入的国家制定任何新的制裁方案。
While the IMF, in a high-profile report on exchange rates in mid-1970, endorsed the principle of greater flexibility, it offered no new ideas for getting countries to move in this direction and proposed no new sanctions against countries that resisted.
