*  *  *  I am delighted to welcome you all to the Annual Dinner in honour of our principal economic operators, to celebrate a year of fruitful collaboration and to reflect on the critical elements for sustaining this effective partnership. We are delighted that His Excellency Tito Mboweni has accepted our invitation to be our special guest tonight.
The Great Tito was until recently Governor of the South African Reserve Bank and is now a committed fisherman. Well may I say he is a great catch for us tonight.
