Vitas Vasiliauskas: Introductory remarks - Cyprus Annual Banking Conference and FinTech EXPO Introductory remarks by Mr Vitas Vasiliauskas, Chairman of the Board of the Bank of Lithuania, at the Cyprus Annual Banking Conference and FinTech EXPO, 15 January 2021.
* * * Good morning, dear listeners, fellow Governors, I would like to thank the Governors for their insights in this panel, and also the organisers of the conference for inviting me. Discussing the role of banks in the time of COVID-19 is indeed vital. Banking is as important to the economy as the heart is to the human body.
