The list of our accomplishments is far from short. Let me mention what the NBU has achieved: The NBU has strengthened its institutional independence and become a technocratic institution that makes decisions based on analysis and facts. The NBU has undergone an unprecedented internal transformation, virtually setting an example for other central banks in many areas.
It is a real pleasure for me to be here today on this occasion to help open the Korovou Microfinance expo. I note that this is a first for your town and the feedback we have received since announcing our plan to bring the expo to Tailevu has been very positive.
