Ladies and Gentlemen: In the course of your deliberations, please take time to look into some of the following issues and come up with appropriate recommendations:   Identify gaps in core competency areas of human resource development and management in the financial sector in general and in regional central banks in particular.
  Propose areas of regional cooperation and strategies for forging partnerships with our development partners which will allow for effective coordination of interventions in capacity building.   Establish, preferably an annual, forum for discussing issues and processes, sharing experiences, ideas and best practices related to capacity building, creating awareness and mobilizing resources for further improvements on capacity for growth in the region.
