I congratulate the leadership of the BMAP for taking the initiative to gather members of the financial community and the media to discuss the global financial crisis and its possible impact on the domestic front. Indeed, we should welcome activities such as these which promote open exchange that lead to better understanding of critical issues. After all, we cannot move forward together.. if we are not on the same page and able to engage the cooperation of our stakeholders at this crucial point in time.

Well, let me share some information that will help you respond to this question.
