I am here to welcome the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to officially open this forum, but before doing that, I wish to make a few remarks.
You brought more people into the banking system, helped strengthen financial literacy and capabilities, and worked to address digital divides in areas of need—particularly in rural communities—at a time when connectivity is essential. I would like to close by saying thank you. You have been working hard through this crisis, and an enormous amount of work still lies ahead.
