If you plan for one year, you better plant sugar cane. If you plan for 10 years, you better plant trees. And if you plan for more than 10 years, you better think and do like responsible and visionary central bankers. I believe this best summarizes the long range vision of policy makers in central banks.
Unhappily, I neither possess the poetry of imagination, nor the brilliance of metaphors for expressing all the ups and downs, the successes and failures and the pleasures and pains of a long standing central banker. Standing here, I seem to be like a lonesome traveller looking back at his footprints the tone and tint of which vanish with the passage of time.
