What is important for a central banker is that you have to convey that you know what you are doing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've never categorically been a banker. I had two internships while I was at university. The decision was more banking, or magic, and I went with the latter.
The job of the Central Bank is to worry.
I am not embarrassed to be a banker. I am not embarrassed to be in business.
As much as the banking system may not be terribly popular, it is an essential part of the economy.
My bankers are very happy with me.
I happen to know a bit about banking.
At the most basic level, a central bank must be clear and open about its actions and operations, particularly when they involve the deployment of public funds.
Central bankers have had enormous responsibilities thrust on them to compensate, essentially, for the failings of the political system. And my worry is we don't have sufficient tools to do that, but we're not willing to say it.
We've been in the business of regional banking, and we understand what it is to make loans, and that's the engine of growth to small and medium sized business.
If you are afraid to fail, then you should go and become a banker.
