We are now in year three of our strategy, and although we have achieved our strategic objectives for the year, we cannot rest on our laurels. Central banks are faced with new challenges which require us to be proactive and responsive. We remain committed to serving the economic well-being of South Africans by delivering on our mandates of price stability and financial stability.
And this was no coincidence, it was a clear understanding by our fellow citizens that for the first time ever in a crisis we were acting as a Union. A Union with a purpose, a Union in which people could understand the continuity across policies, both across each country and the EU, but also across the different economic policy domains.
