Message from the Director General
Dear friends,

Looking ahead into my first year as General Director, allow me to reaffirm my commitment to the task entrusted upon me by CEMLA's Assembly, to which I herein wish to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to serve the central banks of our region.

I will certainly make every effort to foster a relation of confidence with our associate members and to promote a closer link with all of them. This dialogue will not only be cherished, but will be fundamental to the achievement of our common goals. I am also looking forward to deepening our relationship with our collaborator members and with the central banks and prestigious national and international organizations that support our activities. Indeed, they will represent a fundamental component of our endeavors to pursue improved standards for our courses, seminars, workshops, publications and, in general, for all the Centre’s activities.
