My own experience in the Financial Stability Board is that it is certainly possible – at times  BIS central bankers’ speeches  1  even surprisingly easy – to come to a shared diagnosis and devise a common response even to extremely complex problems, when there is a willingness to do so.
I trust that you find it a useful and effective gauge of where we stand relative to our mission, how our stakeholders perceive us, and how our business, learning and growth processes fared in terms of responding to our desired results. The question is how exactly did we fare, over all? Well, I am sure everyone here has an answer to this question.
