Today’s initiative by the bank in launching this ambitious program of financial inclusion is very commendable. Huge participation by women entrepreneurs in today’s program, bodes well for the financial inclusion initiatives being undertaken by the bank.
I would also like to thank all those who agreed to join this Seminar, on such a key issue for our country and for the whole of Europe. Last but not least, I am grateful to all who, at Banco de Portugal, and in particular in the Legal Services Department, have made this event a reality in a very short period of time. 1.
