It is a great honor to have been invited by the Per Jacobsson Foundation to deliver this address, and so to be given another opportunity to walk, albeit briefly, in the footsteps of the great third Managing Director of the IMF, Per Jacobsson. Not only that, but looking at the list of my predecessors at this podium, you seem to have given me a quasi guarantee of immortality.
