Fabio Panetta: On the special role of macroprudential policy in the euro area Remarks by Mr Fabio Panetta, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Italy, at the Netherlands Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank), Amsterdam, 10 June 2014. *  *  *  Introduction I would like to thank Klaas Knot and De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) for inviting me to this seminar.
I have addressed two topics in my speech: anti-money laundering and sustainability. These two topics share a clear international dimension. Fighting money laundering and the financing of terrorism, and enhancing sustainability, can only be properly achieved if we work closely together internationally, and at all levels. But in my opinion there is an even more striking similarity between the two topics.
