First, I would like to briefly share with you my assessment of the economic outlook and discuss in more detail how households and businesses appear poised for an expected rise in interest rates. Second, I want to discuss some issues related to the accounting and auditing of securities.
As a nice complement, an academic session tomorrow will be fully dedicated to current challenges in inflation forecasting and modelling. As Isabel Schnabel recently pointed out (from this very physical polisition), the current high inflation rates are driven to a significant extent by the interplay of global forces.
