Almost immediately, he was drawn into some of the fascinating issues that Treasury confronted at the time, from the regulation of electronic money to international policing and anti-corruption initiatives. In this talk, he’ll reflect on his years at Treasury and discuss some of the connections between the challenges he encountered at Treasury then and some of the dilemmas facing the world today.
