The Future of Cash – from the Asia Pacific Perspective

In place of the annual in-person Future of Cash Conference™, a series of virtual events have been staged. The most recent was an Asia Pacific-focused two-day virtual conference held across four themed sessions in July. A great line up of industry experts presented a range of insights and updates before sharing the panel to answer delegate questions. I was fortunate to join Conference Chair Guillaume Lepecq in moderating these panel discussions.

Session One kicked off with three distinguished central bank panellists: Antti Heinonen, former Director, Banknotes at the European Central Bank and current Chair of the Banknote Ethics Initiative; Alex Bau, Director, Data and Policy Analysis at the Federal Reserve System Cash Product Office in San Francisco; and Ralph Meris, Deputy Director of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
