The whole staff and the Executive Board of the European Central Bank (ECB), as well as the members of the Governing Council and of the General Council of the ECB, are all mourning a very dear colleague and friend. We have sent our deepest condolences to his wife, Almudena, and the other members of his family.

Eugenio Domingo Solans was a member of the Executive Board from June 1998 to May 2004. We all appreciated his strong dedication, his high professionalism and his outstanding contribution to the establishment and consolidation of the ECB and of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB).
