On 03 February 2011, a ceremony was organized to promote The Age of Turbulence; Adventures in a new world, a book by Alan Greenspan, former Chairman of the Board of Governors of the US Federal Reserve. The Foreword of this book is by the Governor of the Bank of Albania, Mr. Ardian Fullani. In his address at the ceremony, Governor Fullani said that administration of the Federal Reserve monetary policy by Greenspan, an ardent believer in the free market, follower of innovation and an agile problem-solver, fully justifies the statement that monetary policy is not a science but an art. 'Perhaps for this very reason he was nicknamed 'MAESTRO', an expression used in art and not in finances or politics. 'Wise, convincing, and imposing, at the same time a modest and friendly man, with a profound characteristic voice - this is the image I keep with me of the great Chairman Greenspan, the man who moved the markets', - the Governor said.

Moreover, the Governor of the Bank of Albania underlined that, directly or indirectly this book reflects many insights on some of the challenges and objectives that the economy is currently facing.

Prompted by conclusions of the author, Mr. Fullani listed some of these issues such as: Central Bank independence, continuation of structural reforms, regional cooperation and necessity to attract foreign investments.
It is essential that a central bank be independent, transparent, responsible and yet not isolated. Coordination with other decision-making institutions is important.  
Equally important is the progress of structural reforms. According to him, foreign investments and structural reforms are vital to a country's economy. In order to enhance efficiency of reforms and attract foreign investors, countries of the region need to strengthen their cooperation. This is the only way for our region to become proportionate to an economy of scale.

'The time is ripe for all of us to release positive energy and believe in innovation'- underlined the Governor. 

The Albanian Minister of Finances, Mr. Ridvan Bode, Members of Parliament, managers of the banking system, representatives of the business community, economists, media representatives, and journalists attended the promotion ceremony.
