The system has been fine tuned a number of times since 1973. The Jamaica Agreement of 1976, signed by IMF members, formalized the floating rate system that replaced the Bretton Woods System. Floating rates were declared acceptable and IMF members were permitted to trade in the foreign exchange(forex) markets to balance out speculative fluctuations of their currencies that were unwarranted. Gold was abandoned as a reserve asset. Total IMF quotas that member countries contributed to the organization were increased to $41 billion. They have since been increased to more than $180 billion.　　
　　自1973年以来，该体系在多个时期协调运转。1976年的雅买加协议，由国际货币基金组织成员签署，使浮动汇率体系正式取代布雷顿森林体系。浮动汇率被正式接受，国际货币基金组织成员被允许在外汇市场上交易，以抵消其无担保货币的投机性浮动。黄金不再作为储备资产，成员国向国际货币基金组织缴纳的总配额增加到410亿美元。从那时起，国际货币基金组织份额一直增加到1,800多亿美元。
