The minutes from the meeting held last week will be released on December 18. In addition, with the agreement of the Board, I am releasing at this time on the website the minutes from all meetings since I have been the chairman of the Board (that is, commencing with the October 2006 meeting).
It was with great pleasure that I accepted your invitation to again take part in the annual conference of the Centre for the Study of International Institutions (CSI). I feel honoured that the speech by the Governor of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank has obviously become a traditional part of this conference.
