I applaud Barclays for its excellent staff and anchoring its business on a set of strong values, without which it would have been impossible to sustain growth and stability over a century. Before I finish, I would be remiss if I did not mention that the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) will this year mark its 50th anniversary.
At this juncture, the Central Bank is at a point of reflection on its past successes and challenges in delivering on its key mandates including promoting the stability, access, efficiency and integrity of the banking sector. CBK will continue to take steps to further strengthen prudential regulation and supervision, with a view to supporting the continued safety, soundness and growth of the banking sector.
