*** Before we move on to your questions, I would like to inform you that the CBK has also, in 2019, awarded the “New Economist” Award in order to promote research activity in the field of economics among young people. I take this opportunity to thank and congratulate all the candidates for their work that they have submitted in the framework of this competition.
Based on the evaluation committee for evaluation of these works, I am pleased today to announce two winners of this award, hoping that this will motivate the authors of these works and other young people to continue and advance further their research work.
