The Evolution and Regulation of the Payments System
ثبت نشده
چکیده
I would like to begin by thanking the Melbourne Business School for organising this conference. For far too long, discussions about payment systems typically took place behind closed doors and were largely the preserve of specialists in fi nancial institutions.

This more open discussion is surely in the interests of the community at large.
