The modern foreign exchange market as we would recognise it today first emerged in London in 1919 when forward contracts started to be continuously traded.
This one-day workshop reflects on the evolution of this market over the last hundred years with contributions from leading economists, historians and practitioners on such topics as the international role of sterling and London market, the role of the Bank of England, currency market efficiency and predictability, and developments in of market microstructure and in fintech in the context of foreign exchange.
