00:00And regarding my continuity, yes, I have been saying throughout this process that irrespective of what happens, I will be heading the bank as long as shareholders on the board want me to be doing so.
00:14I think what matters is the results and the performance of the bank. And if we look back, it has been an outstanding return to shareholders ever since I became chairman at the end of 18. Our shareholders have multiplied their value by five, which is well ahead of our European peers, which is a 3.3 multiple or the other Spanish banks, which is also around three times.
00:36Well, Carlos, I hear you. A final question then. Just to clarify what I'm hearing, you do intend to stay on then as chairman of BBVA. No resignation in sight, no pressure from the board as it stands?
00:50No, not at all. The board is fully backing the entire management team unanimously. The board has been the one making all decisions throughout this process from the very first decision in a unanimous way also.
01:04And as I just said, yes, I will continue. There's no doubt about that.
