I thank the representatives for their presentations. I was in the Dáil when they were speaking earlier but I have read them.

I will begin with a general question on the world economy. Do the representatives believe the prospects of the world economy entering into recession again are rising? Are they concerned by indicators such as the inverted bond yield in the US on Friday, the German manufacturing figures, the slowdown generally, trade tensions and so on? Where does the Central Bank put the kind of risks of entering a new recession in the course of the next year, for instance?
