We faced, by any measure, an incredibly complex economic situation, with new challenges appearing the moment old ones were resolved. Those years were intense for you and your families. But your dedication, the success of the measures you designed, and the competence you displayed across the Eurosystem in implementing those measures, will make those years worth remembering.
These policies are now available to all future policymakers to meet similar challenges. This is a legacy of which all Eurosystem staff can be proud. So, let me express my gratitude for all your 3/5  BIS central bankers' speeches  remarkable efforts, which have truly served the ECB through this unprecedented time, and in doing so the people of Europe.
