I thank our guests for coming here and giving their expert opinion. To what extent should there be a link with the retention of reserves for future emergencies? Given that our total national debt is €225 billion or thereabouts, should there be a link and policies put in place? Are we putting in place policies? I think that we are. Should we put in place policies that make a provision for the future in the event of external forces negatively affecting us?
