  Well, it's a real honor to have a sitting governor on the podcast, particularly of the Riksbank.

  As you know, I had one of your colleagues on the show a few months ago.

  And he and I had a fun conversation on the operational framework that you use there.

  And I've become a big fan ever since.

  So it's a real delight to get the governor,
