Africa is now part of the global economy, which brings its own pressures. Often these pressures are ones that we have no control over. We have a much more open economy, some trade barriers have come down and we are no longer politically isolated.
With the transition to a democratic South Africa, confidence has begun to return with the mounting evidence that economic policies are prudent and transparent. It is on these foundations that we will continue to build upon. We count on you as our valued partners. Danke. Rea leboga. BIS Review 64/2001  5
