He was still at the office at 7pm on Saturday, handing out flyers and explaining its exhibition of photo- graphs, marking the movement’s five years, to visitors. The movement took about five months to decide on the election issue internally, Ahmeti said: “I believe we made the right deci- sion. We are not transforming our- selves into a political party. We are still the same.” Knocking over two EULEX cars right after the announcement and the arrests went some way to prove his point. But others are more sceptical, saying the decision to take on the established parties will result in Vetevendosje losing touch with its grassroots. Arta Berisha, 32, once an ardent supporter, suspects Kurti will lose his standing as a mouthpiece of popular frustration. “Kurti is more limited now than he was back in prison,” she said.

On the 7th of Muharram 1430 Hijri, corresponding to the 3rd of January 2009, Hizb ut-Tahrir held a global economic conference in Khartoum, Sudan. It was attended by an audience of over six thousand men and women who answered the call of the party to attend the conference. Thinkers, scientists, politicians and economists from around the world attended the conference. The widely publicised conference took place against the backdrop of the current economic crisis that has illustrated the astounding failure of the capitalist system to create a secure and just life, free from crises. The conference began in the morning with the recitation of the Glorious Book of Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala), an address about Israel's onslaught on Gaza and a call to the armies to move to rescue the dignity of the Muslims of Palestine.

  • Implications of the Expanding Use of Cash for Monetary Policy Daniel Gros
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Archive of European Integration No 2017/21, June 2017 Implications of the Expanding Use of Cash for Monetary Policy Daniel Gros Summary Financial innovation seems to have had little impact on the oldest medium of transaction, namely cash. The ratio of currency in circulation to GDP has increased in most countries, independently of the continuing spread of cashless transactions. Currency is part of the monetary base. Its increase thus leads to an automatic increase in central banks’ balance sheets. This becomes relevant when the size of a central bank’s balance sheet becomes a policy instrument. Taking account of the increase in cash holdings can lead to a different view of the monetary policy stance over longer periods of time. Holding the size of the overall balance sheet constant is equivalent to a gradual exit when currency holdings continue to increase. Daniel Gros is Director of CEPS. This policy contribution was prepared for the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs of the European Parliament (ECON) as an input for the Monetary Dialogue of 29 May 2017 between Committee and the President of the European Central Bank (http://www.europarl.europa.eu/committees/en/econ/monetary-dialogue.html).
