Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The agenda for the spring dinner meeting of the Committee for Monetary Research and Education, to be held Thursday evening, May 10, in New York City, has been updated to include a tremendous new speaker: Peter Warburton, the British economist and author of "Debt and Delusion," which, published in 1999, showed how the central banks were imperiling the world's economy.

Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said his country has shifted some of its $82 billion of currency reserves away from the dollar and that potential foreign-exchange volatility may hurt exporters.

"We're concerned for the reason that the high percentage of our international trade is in U.S. dollars," Abdullah said today in an interview in Davos, Switzerland at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. When asked whether Malaysia will cut its dollar holdings, he said: "We have already. We'll continue to watch the situation."
