Whether the hegemony of the dollar is going to continue or not is an open question. All of you may have your own views on it. Is the euro going to survive? Will the EU find a lasting solution to the sovereign debt problem of its periphery? Or will the Yuan or Renminbi, or why not the Rand and others, emerge as quasi-reserve currencies?
To sum up, what I have tried to do in this wide-ranging talk is to reassure you, CEO’s and operators at the cutting edge of business, that your regulators are very much on the job and fully-engaged. Unlike some of our counterparts in the US or the UK, we can hardly be accused of sleeping at the wheel.
