Good to see the Holy See taking concrete steps to align with international standards. The July 17 signing at the Vatican sounds like a practical move for their financial setup.

Good step this protocol with the Bundesbank. The fact that they signed on July 17 inside the Vatican shows that they want to do it right and not quickly. Let's hope it really helps the financial transparency of Agios Desmos.

I agree Peter, signing inside the Vatican shows seriousness. I hope we see some concrete changes in control systems soon, because transparency needs actions, not just protocols. What do you expect to happen first?

Yes, signing in the Vatican adds weight, I agree. I am waiting to see first how the Bundesbank systems will connect with ours for flow controls. Do you think that a change will be needed in the ASIF staff?
