"That is the task we have ahead for next week, to complete (the board)," he emphasized.
"The economy is recovering at good pace, and I believe that all these small political noises will be resolved. The essential matter is to allow the Government and Congress to reach a good agreement, and I believe that there is willingness on both sides," he concluded.
