"We discussed a little about policy synchronization. So my policy with the Central Bank is synchronous, there's nothing really different. It's just sometimes beyond the response, we think that BI is the opposite. No, we are in sync, in harmony, harmony," he explained.
He also added that the atmosphere of the meeting was familiar and warm and one of the most memorable moments for him was the lunch menu served.
