I am very thankful to Pakistan Stock Exchange to invite me today at this historic occasion in our economic history. Can a single word be used to describe the prosperity of developed countries in the past few decades? If I were to answer this question, I would say collaboration. In this global world, it is not possible for economies to grow in isolation.
These are questions that today's symposium intends to explore. Ladies and gentlemen, even if the use of cash looks set to decline further in future, we are still a long way off becoming a cashless society. Cash is deeply embedded in our everyday lives. If you ask me, that's mainly due to the characteristics that are unique to cash.
