Mr. Tietmeyer discusses prospects for Latin America in a volatile world Presentation by the President of the Deutsche Bundesbank, Prof. Hans Tietmeyer, at The Wall Street Journal’s Seventh Annual Conference on the Americas in New York on 2/10/98. First of all, I would like to thank you most sincerely for your kind invitation to this major conference.
The fact that a European central banker is speaking at a conference on the Americas is also evidence of advanced globalisation. We are living in one world, even if some of the conditions differ. Geologists claim that our two continents are moving away from each other, even though it is by rather less than one inch a year.
