In this year in which we are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Bretton Woods Agreements, the fact that you should have chosen Madrid as the venue for this all-important occasion is an honor and a privilege for us. We wish to show you our gratitude with our finest tradition of hospitality.

Mr. Chairman, Governors, honored guests, it is a pleasure to welcome you to these meetings on behalf of the International Monetary Fund.

Mr. Chairman, Governors, honored guests, it is a pleasure to welcome you to these meetings on behalf of the International Monetary Fund. I would like to extend a special welcome to my new colleague Paul Wolfowitz. Paul’s qualifications are strong. His distinguished career as a diplomat and public servant were very well known. What was less well known in some circles when he took office was his deep commitment to development, which was again so evident in his excellent speech today. Welcome, Paul.
