I am very happy to be here to address the Bankers Club at Raipur. Chhattisgarh is a fast developing state and the banking system here has to play its role in ushering in economic growth of the state.
Why is this cultural initiative important? I was very happy to take over the patronage of the Cultural Days from my predecessors Jean-Claude Trichet and Wim Duisenberg. With this longstanding project, we aim each year to bring some of Europe’s cultural diversity to audiences in the Rhine-Main area and beyond.
