The subject of analysis in the paper is the examination of the application and derogation of the contemporary international and European monetary law principles. In this context, the first part of the paper points to the specificity of the subject of legal regulation of international monetary relations and examines the normative features of the international monetary system. The second part of the paper points to the basic postulates of international monetary law, embodied in the principles of traditional lex monetae and lex contractus, with particular emphasis on the application of these principles in globalized financial flows. The subject of the analysis is to identify the new wave in development of the legal regulation of monetary relations, as well as the role of International Monetary Fund in the process of money regulation, which, according to the author, has significant implications not only for preserving the acquis and values of the international monetary order, but also for the maintenance of internal monetary stability.
