This year, the University of Cambridge Judge Business School and the World Gold Council hosted the 2016 programme in world famous Cambridge surroundings. The programme included a debate at the Cambridge Union Society, a networking dinner in the idyllic Queen's College and a closing lunch at the UK Parliament in London.
The Executive Programme in Gold Reserves Management is the World Gold Council’s flagship training programme for central bankers and finance ministry officials from around the world. Led by distinguished scholars from Cambridge, experts from the World Gold Council, leading gold industry insiders, and policymakers from both central banks and international institutions, the Executive Programme covered three groups of topics: gold market fundamentals, technical aspects of holding and trading gold, and portfolio management and optimisation.
