Manmohan Singh is a senior economist with the IMF. He writes extensively on topical issues including collateral velocity (a term he coined), monetary policy and collateral, why some EM collateral should be part of global plumbing, and (recently) stablecoins and access to central bank reserves. His new book, Collateral Markets and Financial Plumbing, looks at all the above topics from the lens of financial collateral. Manmohan has led work-shops for the
IMF to official sector policy makers on the impact of regulations on financial markets. He holds a Ph.D. and M.B.A. from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a B.S. from Allegheny College. His recent articles are available at https://sites.google.com/view/msinghdc/home
