Like the mythical bird, Europe has been reborn several times. I started with Rougemont talking about search and adventure. I conclude now that Europe as adventure continues. In this place, thinking about the men who set sail from these shores in such small ships to go into truly unchartered waters, it is perhaps easier to feel this sense of adventure.
The Bank is determined to diligently join international discussions such as meetings of the Financial Stability Board and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. I would like to close my speech by noting that the Bank will do its utmost to overcome deflation at the earliest possible time and achieve a vigorous financial system. Thank you.
