There will be a continued focus on training and development within the context of our Employment Equity Plan. Appropriate training is a benefit not only to the individual, but more generally to the Bank and the wider economy. Acknowledgements I wish to thank the Presidency, the Government and Parliament for their continued support.
The Bank maintained a good working relationship with the National Treasury through the system of bilateral committees. Furthermore, I wish to thank the Minister and Deputy Minister of Finance, and the Director-General of the National Treasury and his staff for their ongoing support and co-operation.
