However, making a case with confidence does not mean disparaging the validity of others. I am looking forward to fruitful discussions on the ECB Governing Council and to working with you, Christine. As a long-standing member of the Market Operations Committee, I always enjoyed working together with colleagues from the Eurosystem and benefited from a variety of views and experiences.
We are all striving to achieve our common goal of safeguarding price stability for the people of the euro area. Likewise, I am looking forward to working together with the other members of the Bundesbank Executive Board as well as with my colleagues throughout the entire Bundesbank: in the branches, the regional offices and at Central Office.
