The regulated sector will be looking towards their regulators for guidance, hence we need to be up to date and well versed in order to be able to provide effective guidance. To this end banks, auditors and regulators will have to work together to ensure that the implementation of IFRS 9 will be a success.
I hope that this workshop will contribute towards this goal. I am sure that during the next one and a half days, there will be very interesting and fruitful discussions that will benefit all the jurisdictions present here today and even after the workshops, I am sure conversations will continue.
