At the apex of policy process is Governor, assisted closely by Deputy Governors and guided by deliberations of a Board of Directors. A Committee of the Board meets every week to review the monetary, economic, financial conditions and advice or decide appropriately. Much of the data used by the Committee is available to the public with about a week’s lag.
I must start by extending a very warm welcome to all the delegates here present. It is indeed an honour for Kenya to be hosting this important meeting. We appreciate the hosting of the ESAAMLG Meeting in Kenya even after the period of turbulence that we underwent at the beginning of the year.
