* * * Good morning, Governor Vujčić, dear Governors, central bankers, banking sector representatives, It is my great honour to finally join you today – even if only virtually. I was scheduled to address this very meeting back in March and give a talk about financial stability and the real estate market.
I had my speaking points written down, my flight booked – all ready to meet you and share perspectives on the topic we had chosen. I was also keen to visit Rovinj and gaze for a moment at its Venetian architecture. And then… We all know what happened. The world has turned upside down.
