On Friday, October 21, 2022, Holland Gold organized an event called "Monetary Horizons" in the AFAS Atrium in Leusden. The following experts spoke at this event: Arno Wellens, Ab Flipse, Kees de Kort, Bert Slagter, Hester Bais, Alfonso Peccatiello, Mike Hutting and Paul Buitink. The speakers discussed current themes such as monetary (interest rate) policy, the euro, the impact of the invasion of Ukraine and the energy crisis. They also gave their vision of the future. Will there be a recession? Is our money system sustainable? Are cryptos or CBDCs the alternative?

In this conversation, Kees de Kort, Hester Bais, Bert Slagter and Paul Buitink will discuss our money system, shadow banking and the future of the euro. They also analyse what happened to the English pension funds that were on the verge of collapse and whether this could also happen in the Netherlands. Finally, they talk about gold and bitcoin and the role it can play in a new money system.
