Without the independence to pursue their mandates, this work would have been impossible. But following the global financial crisis, we are living in a different world, one in which issues of financial stability have moved out of the shadows and into the center of our concerns.
The end of this workshop today signals the beginning of much work that cannot be done in silos, if we are to move the financial sector into the digital and technological era. I therefore urge all partners to keep this momentum going and stay on course with our target of delivering a National Fintech Strategy by the end of 2019.
