I urge members of the public to visit the Bank’s website – which is itself in the process of being revamped to make it more user-friendly – to familiarise themselves with the recent updates and help us detect any suspicious financial activity.
Banking will be less profitable, but also less risky. All will benefit. I am certain that the political project launched by the G20 will succeed. The euro area as a whole is sounder than other currency areas. Public budgets and the external accounts are more balanced. But the attack on it now under way is not directed against the area as a whole.
