They are talking, not about “business as usual”, but rather about getting on to a “new normal”. Let me then reflect on how I see this “new normal” from the perspective of our banking business in COMESA and our opportunities for promoting greater economic and social prosperity in the region.
But, first of all, let me say on behalf of the Bank of Mauritius, what a pleasure it is to welcome you all here this morning on the occasion of this opening ceremony. I wish to extend a very special welcome to my fellow-Governors, central bankers and representatives of regional and international organizations who have joined us this morning.
