ECB's Draghi: Should not be discouraged that there is still work to do to complete our Union

Below are the key takeaways from the speech delivered by Mario Draghi, President of the ECB, at the Europa-Konferenz at Hertie School of Governance organised by the Jacques Delors Institute, Berlin, 19 September 2018.

• We should not be discouraged that there is still work to do to complete our Union.
• No union is built perfectly from day one.
• It is an evolutionary process that is well described by the commitment to build “a more perfect union” enshrined in the US constitution.
• Today’s priorities include personal and economic security; addressing youth unemployment; and strengthening social models so as to care better for the sick, old and unemployed.
