The central bank of the Netherlands
The central bank of the Netherlands organizes a series of lectures on various economic topics.
For example, DNB Director Steven Maijoor breaks down the banking world, explains why a monetary authority is crucial, and discusses the future of banks. Board Member Olaf Sleijpen also gives a lecture, covering everything from cash to crypto, stablecoins to the digital euro. How does the future of payments look?
Internet pioneer Marleen Stikker also shares her insights, drawing lessons from the evolution of the internet and the rise of big tech. She explores parallels with the banking sector and what that means for society. I guide the conversations with these experts and facilitate the Q&A.
These lectures take place at the DNB office but are also available to watch online.
This series of lectures helps clarify the social role of DNB, especially among young millennials.
