The Governor's Blog aims to share, in an above all instructive manner, useful knowledge in relation to the monetary policy of the Eurosystem, of which the BCL is an integral part. Beyond that, it serves to explain more generally the BCL's European, international and national missions, and to take up positions expressed by the Governor. Finally, it will also present the work (reports, working papers, published articles, etc.) carried out within or by the BCL bcl.lu
