So what are the objectives of this seminar from our point of view? •  First, it should be a platform for an exchange of views between central banks of the Mediterranean region and central bankers of the Eurosystem.
This seminar should enhance the Eurosystem’s knowledge of the economies of our Mediterranean neighbours, and provide the central banks of the region with an opportunity to become more familiar with the Eurosystem. •  Second, this seminar is not a one-off event. We see the potential for regular and active dialogue in the region.
