My paper on challenges that Central Banks face from the increasing use of cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange & money transmission. One of the suggestions is that Central Banks develop a cryptocurrency wallet that can hold secure balances centrally.

Research by @bankofengland finds that a “visual summary of the Inflation Report, which makes use of graphics and simpler language increases understanding of policy messages”. “Avoid technical terms, keep summaries short & use everyday life examples".

@kagire @patobig @bernanamata @Mmazimpaka @taarifarwanda @RMC_Rwanda It's not abt crucifying, it's abt having standards. I agree that "some things bcome clearer later" BUT simple things as Cabinet approved a restructuring of an institution at date X, should be easy to find for any serious journalist. That such simple facts were missing is alarming

[Samuel Baker @Samuel_Baker223]

@kagire @patobig @bernanamata @Mmazimpaka @taarifarwanda @RMC_Rwanda Am sorry.... but good journalism should also be about checking the facts before publishing stories. The public who are consumers deserve nothing but well researched, fact checked stories, which Taarifa failed to do in their prior piece!

"You don't typically associate central banks with revolution, unless the “r” is silent. Yet it is not an exaggeration to say, a revolution has swept through every central bank on the planet. It has come in the area of external communications, openness & accountability" - Haldane

[Bank of England @bankofengland]

Andy Haldane looks at how trust in experts and central banks has changed since the financial crisis. He says we need to communicate better with people and harness the “wisdom of crowds”. And he explains some of the ways we’re trying to do that. https://t.co/dDEs3P4UBw
