Plaza Accord

An agreement reached in 1985 by France, Germany, Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom to drive down the price of the dollar. By 1985, the dollar had reached an all time high relative to many major currencies, and the United States was experiencing a large trade deficit. The coordinated efforts by these countries resulted in a 30% decline in the dollar over the next two years.
