Thank you, Greece, for becoming the newest partner of our capacity development work. As I told FM Kyriakos Pierrakakis, Greece has come a long way: from a country needing support to now able to help others. It will contribute to SEETAC, strengthening economic institutions in SE Europe.

Not all imbalances are the same. Some reflect a country’s stage of development—but it is excessive imbalances that should concern us. This distinction shaped my discussion with Bank of England Governor, Andrew Bailey, Kristin J Forbes, Adam Posen, and Hélène Rey.
