BoE open vragen uurtje

Bloemlezing! Leuk initiatief van de Bank of Englang (BoE) om open vragen via Twitter te beantwoorden. JPMorgan Chase heeft dit eerder ook gedaan (lachen!), maar de Amerikaanse bank droop met staart tussen de benen af. Deze charmante dame zal al uw vragen beantwoorden. Dat laten wij ons geen twee keer zeggen.

 

Hi, I'm Victoria Cleland, the new Chief Cashier. I'll be online for the next hour or so answering your questions pic.twitter.com/TYzzSQ6FI7

BoE legt het nog één keer uit...

@bankofengland Why do you still "promise to pay the bearer the sum of" if your notes are backed by nothing? Seems very misleading.

.@marioInnecco They are backed - not by gold, but by government bonds we hold here at BoE #AskBoE

Ja, hoeveel eigenlijk? Haha, genoeg dus. Don't fight the BoE :-)

@bankofengland #askboe will you answer all questions or just the ones that suit you? Q; how many notes are in stock in case of bankrun?

— Joe Roberts (@NEJRoberts) 29 mei 2014

.@nejroberts We have sufficient reserves in places at all times - we've never yet run out of notes, even at the toughest times #AskBoE

Is de Bank of England wel groen en millieuvriendelijk genoeg?

Why couldn’t you find a fancy type of wood based paper. Then money really wood (*ahem*) grow on trees.. #AskBoE

.@kx001 Alas no. But our notes can help grow trees! We turn old notes into compost after they're withdrawn… #AskBoE

@bankofengland @zerohedge @kx001 Do these new trees go on to produce the new currency being currently used?

.@gossage3 That would make my job easier! Alas no…#AskBoE

Britse humor :-)

@bankofengland #AskBoE What is the benefit of having plastic bank notes as opposed to the traditional paper ones?

— Cameron Broome (@CameronBroome97) 30 mei 2014

.@cameronbroome97 They will be cleaner, more durable - and allow us to use lots of new security features. They look great too… #AskBoE

@bankofengland @cameronbroome97 Can bankers still use them to light cigars with or are they fire retardant?

#AskBoE will we be able to make a mustache or glasses with permanent marker on Her Majesty?

— Observant Trader (@eqlfx) 29 mei 2014

.@eqlfx Hmm. We wouldn't recommend it! #AskBoE

Wie kan er niet ontbreken?

Dear @bankofengland Many are worried in Holland. Is our #gold still in Threadneedle Street? Selfie by the Governor with it is OK :) #AskBoE

— Arend Jan Kamp (@ArendJanKamp) 30 mei 2014

Yes mister Kamp, the gold is still there!
