I wish to thank President Zuma and the Presidency, the Government and Parliament for their continued support. The sound working relationship between the Bank and the National Treasury has continued, and I thank Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, Deputy Minister Nhlanhla Nene and the staff of the National Treasury for their ongoing support.
We also thank Mr Lesetja Kganyago as the former Director General, and are confident that the strong ties between the Bank and the National Treasury will continue to bear fruit as we build on the firm foundations already in place. We look forward to our continued sound working with the new Director General, Mr Lungisa Fuzile, and wish him well.
