I got an email from Dr. Warren Coats about a forum to be held in Wash. DC on 4-20-17. The forum is on Exchange Rates and the Dollar and is sponsored by the Jack Kemp Foundation. Dr. Coats will present his ideas on how to use the SDR (used at IMF) as global reserve currency. Also on the panel of featured speakers will be Dr. Judy Shelton who advised the Trump transition team and is an advocate for a role for gold in the monetary system. This should be a very interesting discussion by a very distinguished group of panelists. Here is link with some information on it:
Project on Exchange Rates and the Dollar
Of course I will cover this on my blog as it will be directly relevant to what I try to keep up with. Dr. Coats will provide me a copy of his presentation once he writes it up I am sure. This is a forum where some ideas could emerge that might actually impact real policy decisions during the Trump years so I will try my best to get as much information on it as I can. I hope they will video the presentations. I might be able to get Dr. Shelton's presentation if they don't. Will post more on this once the event takes place. Looking at the list of participants, there are some heavy hitters.
