In all these endeavours, I counted and continue to rely on the support of structures at home and abroad; this includes colleagues, counterparts and bilateral establishments, such as the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum.
Director of Ceremonies, Chairman of the OMFIF Advisory Board, Co-Chairpersons of OMFIF, the Forum’s Award Jury, fellow Governors, Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, I end by reiterating my eternal gratitude for the generous acknowledgement of my work, as evidenced by the conferment on me of the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum’s Lifetime Achievement Award. I embrace it. Thank you for your attention.
