Thesuccessofthegold-exchangestandard,however,dependedonthesuperiorpositionoftheUnitedStatesinworldtrade.Inthe1960s,continualbalanceofpaymentsdeficits(赤字)loweredU.S.goldreservesandfatallyunderminedthesystem.In1968atwo-tiered(兩極的)systemwasadopted.Governmentbanksmaintainedfixedgoldprices,whilenongovernmentalbuyerstradedfreely.Simultaneously,non-dollarspecialdrawingrights(SDRs)wereassignedtoIMFmembersinproportiontotheircontributions.ButthesechangesdidnotrelievestrainontheU.S.dollar.In1971PresidentRichardNixonannouncedthatdollarswouldnolongerautomaticallybeexchangedforgold,andsincethentherehasbeennosingleinternationalmonetarystandard.
