The Future of Payments - Marion Laboure
Channel: Value of Bitcoin
Date: 2020-08-06

When people discuss the future of payments they tend to predict the end of cash. Our view is different. Not only do we think cash will be around for a long time, we see the transition to digital payments as having the potential to do no less than rebalance global economic power. We examine the past, present, and future of the payments industry. We analyse the unexpected results of our proprietary survey of 3,600 customers across the US, UK, China, Germany, France and Italy and forecast trends in cash, online, mobile, crypto, and blockchain. The implications for customers and business are important; the potential macro and geopolitical consequences are profound.

Marion Laboure is a macro strategist at Deutsche Bank and a lecturer in finance at Harvard University. Prior to this, she worked at the IMF, the Luxembourg Central Bank and the European Commission. Marion holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the Ecole Normale Superieure, and a Master's degree in Economics from the London School of Economics.

About Bitcoin she says:
"Bitcoin is an interesting piece of maths that never really threatens central banks."
