It is my hope and expectation that reconstitution of the Forum will re-energize the relevant financial sector development debate to effectively address emerging challenges in the financial markets and bring in new perspectives in the approach to financial sector growth in line with the Government policy to make Nairobi the Financial Hub for East and Central Africa. Meetings 10. The Forum will meet monthly.
I warmly welcome the new members of the Forum and look forward to working with them in the coming days. The Financial Markets Department will continue hosting monthly technical meetings to review progress and provide advice on an ongoing basis. Thank you all very much for your time and for listening.
