THE NEW FIFTY POUND NOTE – THINK SCIENCE Last month, the Bank announced the start of the character selection process for the new polymer £50 note. The character is to be drawn from those from the UK who have made an outstanding contribution to science. What’s more, the public are invited to nominate the scientist they would most like to see on the new note.


THE FUTURE OF MONEY And it’s not just the future of the £50 note we are thinking about - we’re asking the public to talk to us about the future of money, in all its various shapes and sizes. The Bank has launched its annual Future Forum to hear what people


think about topics ranging from the rise of cashless payments, to crypto assets and financial technology. As part of the event, the Bank’s governors will be hosting live online Q&A


sessions – so this is your chance to talk directly to Mark Carney and his senior colleagues. There are also great opportunities for youngsters to get involved. For more information visit www.bankofenglandfutureforum.co.uk. Meanwhile, my colleagues in the Agency network and I continue to meet


with our contacts in companies and charities to deepen our understanding of what’s happening in the economy in every part of the United Kingdom.
