Let’s salute the landmark currency agreement of 40 years ago. Getting such a deal today would be a mighty struggle. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/22/japan/the-plaza-accord-still-the-gold-standard/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #plazaaccord #jamesbaker #usdollar #yen #japaneseeconomy #useconomy #currencies

Why the Plaza Accord is still the gold standard

Rather than grieve Plaza, salute it. The deal reflected a confluence of national interest, diplomatic nous and a sense that common interests dictated collaboration.
