Opening remarks by Francois Groepe, Deputy Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, at the public workshop on proposals to establish a deposit insurance scheme for South Africa South African Reserve Bank, Pretoria 23 August 2017 Introduction  Good afternoon, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.
I have often quoted the famous American journalist Walter Lippmann, who said, “Where all men think alike, no one thinks very much.” I think it is healthy for the American public to know that we debate some of the same issues that those outside the Fed debate. Hiding such debate behind a unanimous vote does nothing to promote true transparency.
