It is noteworthy that the Bankers’ Committee has taken up the challenge for ensuring high standard of behaviour, through the establishment of a code of ethics and professionalism in banking with a sub-committee for its enforcement. Finally, distinguished participants, I am optimistic that you have a lot to gain by attending this seminar.
I believe that the experts that have been assembled to handle the various sub-themes will do justice to them and will, in the process, also comprehensively address some of the issues raised in this keynote address and come up with recommendations that are implementable. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour and privilege to declare this seminar open.
