As you can see at Bank Millennium, anyone can have a small moment of fame. So this is mine probably good afternoon and thank you very much for joining. This is a very important day or event for us because not only we are presenting our Q3 results which as usual continue to show the resilience of our franchise. But also today, we are presenting details and vetting details of our new four year strategy, which I'm sure you will find very interesting, challenging and I think we will be totally in a different space in four years' time. Today's agenda begins with Mr. Fernando Bicho, deputy Chairman of the board, the CFO. He will guide you through the details of our financial results and our business achievements in Q3.
Then a Q&A session will follow. We intend to focus on relatively short term issues. Afterwards, we will have a presentation of strategy by Chairman of the board and our CEO Mr Joo. He will guide you through our strategic vision and the key enablers and challenges that we think we will face over the next four years after that, another Q&A
