A variety of new financial technologies have transformed the ways in which payments are made over recent decades, providing solutions to many of the inefficiencies and alleviating some of the risks that have plagued transfers of value over centuries. Countries at all levels of development now have several alternative quick and secure payment alternatives, so long as they invest in universal digital access. These forms of payment all use familiar and convenient tools, and we have seen their usage expand rapidly in countries around the world, once they are introduced.

Join the Global Interdependence Center’s College of Central Bankers for a webinar to explore these technologies with College of Central Bankers Fellow, DeLisle Worrell, Ph.D., Former Governor of the Central Bank of Barbados, as a part of our College of Central Bankers Institutional Alignment Project.

About the Institutional Alignment Project: The College of Central Bankers is actively conducting a multiyear global discussion centered around the overarching question of whether national and international policymaking institutions are sufficiently equipped to address the impacts of high debt levels, digital currencies, unsupervised algorithmic trading, inequality, climate change, and changing demographics. This Project addresses whether long-standing international accords need to be modified and/or whether new global agreements are necessary. Working collaboratively, the CCB and its community is bringing this discussion and other activities to the global stage, beginning with a series of virtual events.

About the College of Central Bankers: The Global Interdependence Center’s College of Central Bankers provides a platform for former leaders of the world’s central banks and similar institutions to share their unique combination of hands on experience and continued thought leadership on important global issues facing economies and effecting the quality of life.
