At the outset, let me applaud KBA for organising this annual conference over the last six years. The Conference provides an excellent opportunity for us to reflect on the Kenyan banking sector’s transformation journey, its milestones, challenges and opportunities.
I would like to highlight what I believe is a major accomplishment in this regard. Earlier in my remarks I mentioned the new trading book rules, which were developed jointly with our colleagues from the International Organization of Securities Commissions.
