Before I leave the changing face of the banking scene let me offer a final word on how the central bank is playing its role beyond our borders.
Some of the development initiatives that the Bank is actively involved include:   Savings and Loan Societies Revitalization Program;    Establishment of Port Moresby Stock Exchange; and    PNG-ADB Microfinance & Employment Project. The Bank contributes to the PNG-ADB Microfinance & Employment Project as the Executing Agent.
