Cash or card? Or crypto? Or CBDC?

The modern universe of money and financial assets is a whole new landscape all its own. CIGI President Paul Samson and senior fellow S. Yash Kalash have collaborated on a piece that breaks it down. Understanding this new playing field is the only way we’ve got to ensure it’s level.

"The United States stood alone as the world’s sole unrivalled superpower. Into this mindset steps a group of foreign policy and economic elites, and what they sell the United States and its allies on is a post-Cold War order called Globalization."

Thank you to everyone who attended the IARIW-CIGI conference on The Valuation of Data!

This conference was 2 days of great discussion on how we can drive transformative impact in the field of data valuation and ways we can push the boundaries of new knowledge on this topic.

[CIGI @CIGIonline]

Day 2 of the IARIW-CIGI conference on The Valuation of Data!

Expert sessions have covered topics ranging from:

▪️ Valuing data using machine learning
▪️ Data enclaves
▪️ The production of data and how it creates value

More to come!

[CIGI @CIGIonline]

“It is possible over time to reach a consensus on how to value this intangible asset. When the value of data is understood, investment will be incentivized and everyone can benefit from the gains of data use.”

[CIGI @CIGIonline]

Data urgently needs a well-defined method of valuation.

"Fully unleashing the value of data – for individuals, for firms, for society – requires sound governance, at the regional, national and international levels," writes @bobfayecon.
