I hope I have sufficiently set the stage for beginning our dialogue. Although now, I can see from your faces that very little motivation is needed for this group to move forward with excitement. You are excited enough!
Looking at the participants – prime movers and stakeholders in our debt market, from both the government and private sectors – it is evident that discussions will be interesting, meaningful and engaging. I wish us all Godspeed in our important task, not just for today, but in the days to follow. Thank you and good afternoon. 1 The Philippine Development Plan. 2017 to 2022.
