The immanent problem of the international monetary system is the adjustment asymmetry (also called “asymmetrical burden sharing”). The same problem arises on the regional level, in the case of monetary union. The adjustment asymmetry means that surplus countries are in a better position s compared to deficit countries, as they are not compelled to adjustment. This is why many economist try to work out the system of involving surplus countries to adjust. The aim of the article is to present the main proposals formulated to achieve this goal.
