We have covered all the regions of Papua New Guinea – Highlands, Islands, Southern and Momase in our visitation. The last time we had a Board meeting were in Mt. Hagen was in the 1980s. As the Central Bank is a national institution that belongs to all the people of PNG, we will continue to go out to them in this manner.
For almost a year now, the pandemic has had a firm grip on all our lives. In the meantime, we have got used to the new “normal”: social distancing, wearing masks and – of course – working from home. Our conference today has also taken place virtually and despite everything, the event has gone smoothly and enabled a lively exchange.
