I would like to reemphasize that the Bank and the government share the same goal of preventing a further decline in prices and of bringing the economy back to a sustainable growth path as soon as possible. Based on the preceding discussion, I would like to express my thinking on what role the Bank should play.
With the institution of the Conduct Supervision department, more emphasis is being  placed by the Bank on the supervision of the behavior of the institutions boards in the execution of their responsibilities. I hereby conclude my introductory remarks and pass the word now to Mrs. Mayesi Hammoud who will elaborate further on Corporate Governance aspects as established by the Corporate Law of Curaçao.
