Thank you for giving it to France 2 and Télématin. French people knew you as the Minister of Economy and then as Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). And now, as head of the ECB, you have an even more powerful role and the financial markets scrutinise everything you say. Do you have to weigh every word?
As for the outlook of the economy, the implementation of the supplementary budget for fiscal 1998 is assumed to boost demand through additional public works and special income tax-reduction, and cease the negative interactions of production, income, and expenditure.
