We are missing tonight governors from the Horn of Africa and from the Seychelles. If we are to travel together we need to integrate the hopes and the experience of all the countries in our region, not just those that have made it here today, or who are thriving best.
I feel very privileged and honoured to say just a few words of greeting and to provide some preliminary observations at the start of this 7th meeting of Governors of the Eastern Africa chapter of the Association of African Central Banks.
