“A few hours ago only the Lord and I knew what I was going to say ….. but now the Lord only knows”. It is always an honour for me to be a guest speaker at this annual event where the banking fraternity gets an opportunity to interact and exchange views in a relaxed environment away from each one’s busy place of work.
At a similar event last year, I was challenged to speak about the Basel II Accord or the New Capital Accord as it is referred to by many of you. I vaguely recall the levels of boredom which showed on the faces of most of those who were present that evening, which is something I do not wish to see repeated tonight.
