Another question has been raised rather widely in Europe, in Japan as well as in the United States is what, to what extent will the euro become a reserve currency.

Indeed, some kitsch seems to be flawed by its very perfection, its technical virtuosity and its precise execution, its explicit knowledge of the tradition

The major material advantage, financial advantage from having a reserve currency is that between 200 and 300 billion dollar bills, that may be twenty, fifty, hundred dollar bills as well as ones, exist in the world - a lot of them in Russia as you all know I'm sure.

Trust is built step by step, commitment by commitment, on every level.

Chances are the movements of the euro as against the dollar will be relatively moderate.

Building trust begins with an appreciation and understanding of trust, but it also requires practice and practices.

All trust involves vulnerability and risk, and nothing would count as trust if there were no possibility of betrayal.
