As a new year begins and the blog starts afresh in 2026, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the highlights of the blog in 2025.
In case you missed any of our posts the first time round, the five most viewed posts of last year were:
- Central banks, big and small
- Collateral re-use: unveiling the risk of delivery failures and higher volatility in the repo market
- War and payment innovation: the adoption of paper currency in Britain
- More mortgage lending might push home ownership further out of reach
- Once upon a time in the future: strategic foresight in central banks
We hope you enjoyed the blog in 2025. Happy New Year and we look forward to sharing more posts with you in 2026!
