I am pleased to join you at the ABSA Africa Banking Conference. Let me at the outset express my gratitude for the invite.
The theme of the conference— Re-imagining Banking in Africa in a Post COVID World— is timely, as we reflect on the challenges and opportunities that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has brought to the fore. I am sure that your deliberations over the next two days will illuminate the path forward for the African banking sector.
