My dear Colleagues, Distinguished Participants, In this meeting you have all generously contributed your valuable thoughts and your power of articulation you have also given much of yourselves, many of you working until the small hours of the morning in order to fulfill this demanding seminar’s agenda. For that I cannot thank you enough.
Also, I would like to thank IMF, ADB, GTZ, UNDP, and USAID for their valuable, partial financing of this one-and-a half day seminar. Last but not least, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the organizing committee and all support staffs, who have ensured the success of this year’s seminar.
