TSE Community: Save the Date for a New Alumni Meet-Up in London! 🇬🇧

We are delighted to announce the next TSE Alumni Meet-Up in London, featuring a conference by Alexander Guembel, professor of finance at TSE on the topic: "Digital Payments: Private or Public Solutions?"

This is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with the TSE community, meet fellow alumni, and enjoy a memorable evening together.

Program:

6:45 PM – Welcome address by Victoria Barham (TSE Director) and François Poinas (Dean of TSE)

7:00 PM – Conference by Alexander Guembel :
"Payment systems have undergone massive changes over the last few years, driven by technological innovation and new private initiatives ranging from cryptocurrencies to payments embedded in digital platforms. Central banks and governments have responded with initiatives including Central Bank Digital Currencies and Fast Payment Systems. But what, if anything, is the underlying economic problem that public policy should address? This talk aims to build on basic economics to put some structure on how we should think about the respective roles of banks, private payment providers and the public sector in the emerging digital payments landscape."
