The First Minister has said he will meet the Governor of the Bank of England.
Alex Salmond confirmed the move three weeks after Mark Carney said he would welcome the chance to discuss the Scottish Government's plan to share sterling as currency in the event of a Yes vote for independence.
Mr Salmond said he would make public as much information as he could from the talks which will happen on a date yet to be fixed.
Speaking in London last month, Mr Carney said basic discussions were held between his predecessor, Sir Mervyn King, and the First Minister.
"I have not had any discussions with members of the Scottish Government. My predecessor did have some very basic technical discussions with Mr Salmond within the course of the last couple of years. I certainly welcome the opportunity to have those discussions," he said.
"There has been an effort to set up a meeting and I'm sure it will happen at some point."
Mr Salmond was asked on BBC Radio Scotland today whether he would meet Mr Carney.
"Yes, that's correct. The exact date hasn't been agreed yet but it is going to happen, following on that excellent example set by Mervyn King," he said.
"I'll keep private what needs to be kept private, but I'll make public as much as I possibly can."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
