Bloomberg LINK Gathers FX Leaders in London for Currency Debate

Speakers will discuss a variety of topics affecting currencies over the next twelve months including interest rate changes, roles and responsibilities around foreign exchange, who’s winning currency wars and the regulatory challenges moving forwards. They will also debate the key issues around the gold market and take a look at the opportunities for emerging market currencies.

“Through a series of panel discussions, leading strategists and currency investment specialists will provide insights on foreign exchange trends and issues that will affect us all in 2013, as well as strategies for places to invest,” said Robert Bierman, head of Bloomberg LINK. "We have created what will be a compelling series of debates about the issues on the minds of FX investors."
