Dear SUERF Member,
We have the pleasure of inviting you to attend the SUERF/Deutsche Bundesbank/Stiftung Geld und Währung
Conference on
“Cash on Trial”, which will take place in
Frankfurt on Monday, 20 May 2019.
The conference will be staged as a court trial in which cash will be accused with three charges: First, cash
is an essential part of many kinds of criminal activities; second, it is an inefficient and outdated means of payment; and third, it prevents central banks from implementing optimal monetary policy in times when price stability would require negative interest
rates. To spur a lively discussion we intend to develop the conference in a defense and prosecution part, where witnesses are called to elaborate on the charges. Additional presentations will provide a neutral overview of the current situation of the use of
cash in the Eurosystem and of ideas to develop a digital cash by central banks.
Confirmed speakers:
Katrin Assenmacher, European Central Bank;
Morten Bech, Bank for International Settlements;
Gaspard Koenig,
GenerationLibre;
David T.
Llewellyn, Loughborough University and SUERF;
