*  *  *  Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, First, allow me to congratulate CEMLA on its 60th anniversary. For the past 60 years, CEMLA has consistently promoted better knowledge of financial and monetary topics in Latin America and the Caribbean through cooperation among the region’s central banks.
This cooperation has evolved according to the prevailing economic conditions, developments in economic thinking, and political views. Against this background, I would like to discuss the experiences of emerging and developing economies in the area of central bank cooperation. Central banks have a long tradition of cooperation.
