In his remarks, Andrew Hauser, Executive Director, Banking, Payments and Financial Resilience explains how the agreement by the Bank of England and the New York Federal Reserve in Spring 1917 to provide banking services to one another was actually part of a seminal moment in the development of the international financial system.
Andrew then gives a Bank of England perspective on those events, describes the services that we provide today, and touches on some of the challenges and opportunities for the future.
