Fiscal Policy

Abstract

It is for me a great pleasure to introduce to you Dr. Willem Duisenberg, president of the European Central Bank who is our keynote speaker today. Wim, we are very grateful that, despite your very busy schedule, you agreed to deliver today’s keynote address on this very important milestone in the Bank’s existence. Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Duisenberg will share with us his views and experiences on fiscal policy, a topic that has been on the forefront of national agenda both in Europe and here in the Netherlands Antilles.
