In my Concluding Remarks delivered on 31 May last, I recalled the changes made to the composition of the Governing Board in 2019: Fabio Panetta was appointed Senior Deputy Governor, Luigi Federico Signorini confirmed as Deputy Governor, and Alessandra Perrazzelli and Daniele Franco also both appointed as Deputy Governors.
I wish once again to thank Salvatore Rossi and Valeria Sannucci for their many years of service to the Bank, in the roles of Senior Deputy Governor and Deputy Governor respectively. The Bank is – we all are – hugely indebted to them. On 1 January this year the composition of the Board of Directors changed again.
