Ladies and Gentlemen,
Seven years after the great financial crisis, the politicians, the European people, and the
business community are still dealing with the following great challenges for the countries, for
the economies, and for the corporations:
- how can the over-indebtedness of states be contained?
-how stable or unstable is the common currency, the Euro?
-how do the European States get out of recession, and regain stability and growth?
-will ultra-low interest rates be the cure for all financial problems and challenges?
Daily, we are confronted with comments to these issues and questions, from all involved
parties, and more than ever we need a compass which guides us through this daily flood of
such comments and opinions, as to what will be the best solutions for the ongoing challenges.
