I have just received an invitation from Andrew Crockett for the IDB to cooperate with the Financial Stability Forum in raising awareness in our region of the international standards that have been developed and to promote the discussion of the implementation issues that would arise.
It is a pleasure for me to announce here that I am delighted to accept this invitation to cooperate in this issue of common interest. Countries are also very interested in finding ways to further strengthen their financial systems, to the point that many of them would like to have the opportunity to participate more actively in the development of new ideas and standards.
