In the Keynes plan, international payment transactions should be handled via a newly designed clearing agency, the International Clearing Union (ICU). He provided for an independent, international and virtual means of payment Bancor to take over the billing in payment transactions between the central banks. The value of the Bancor should be defined in gold and the member states should fix their currency against the Bancor. The goal of the ICU was to compensate for the current account of the member countries based on stable exchange rates.
