00:00Ladies and gentlemen, I'm happy to welcome you all here in our modest imperial halls.
00:06That's just one of the quiet advantages of living on the so-called old continent.
00:13No need to build new ballrooms like in Washington, D.C.
00:25Look at what we went through the last few years alone.
00:28A pandemic, broken supply chains, a war in Eastern Europe, an energy shock, new geopolitical tensions.
00:36And none of those have been easy for our economy.
00:39Some sectors have suffered considerably.
00:42There's something we don't say often enough.
00:45You manage remarkably well because we have excellent companies, a skilled workforce, strong industrial know-how.
00:53We've got to have a social control.
00:53Thank you.
