Watch the recording of this webinar, recorded on February 18, 2022, on our YouTube Channel.
In our previous faiVLive webinar with Jesse McWaters, Head of Global Digital Public Policy at Mastercard, we demystified digital money systems and discussed what blockchains are, the differences between mobile money, digital currency and cryptocurrency, and the possibilities that digitization opens.
But an hour was just not enough. Back for a second run, Tim and Jesse continued their conversation, and grappled with questions focused on applications of digital currency to advance financial inclusion, cybersecurity, and the interplay between regulation, consumer protection and innovation.
Featuring:
Jesse McWaters, Global Heal of Regulatory Advocacy, Mastercard
Timothy Ogden, Managing Director, Financial Access Initiative at NYU Wagner

This faiVLive was presented in collaboration with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth.
Ten years ago, FAI managing director Tim Ogden published Experimental Conversations, a collection of interviews with economists and other people who critique, promote, and use randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in development economics. One of the interviewees was Michael Kremer, a pioneer of the movement, now a Nobel laureate, and recently appointed Chief Economist of the World Bank.
