Afterwards we met in different roles, including an important one that I would like to mention – that of being the first Governor of the Central Bank of Luxembourg. And this means a lot! This means creating a bank from scratch.
And creating a central bank from scratch is not an easy task in terms of the relationship with the political power, 3/4  BIS central bankers' speeches  in operational terms, in terms of creating credibility, in terms of bringing together a team. And I think that this point needs to be emphasised because it is a very important achievement by Yves Mersch.
