Conference format:

The conference runs over 2½ days from morning Saturday May 26 to noon Monday 28. The first
two days consist of ten different sessions, each covering a particular topic in the area of “Money
and Banking”. For each topic, which runs for 1.5 hours, there are two presenters (25 minutes
each) and two commentators (10 minutes each), followed by general discussion. These sessions
will be open to attend for selected invitees, primarily academics but also selected policymakers
and practitioners with an academic interest. The third half-day is open to students and the
general public, and features two panel discussions on more broad topics and policy implications.
