Publication - Cash - tried and tested, and with a future - Fritz Zurbrügg, Vice Chairman of the Governing Board of the Swiss National Bank - World Banknote Summit, Basel, 27.02.2017
Ladies and Gentlemen - It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Basel, and to the very first World Banknote Summit. It’s rather fitting that the summit is taking place in Switzerland, as the Swiss National Bank is currently in the middle of issuing a new banknote series. As a result, banknotes are currently receiving a lot of attention in this country. And an interest in banknotes is, after all, what unites all of the participants at this summit.
