Dear Stakeholders, at the beginning of a new year, when the world economy is on a two-speed recovery path – with advanced economies, our main partners, still recovering slowly, and the emerging economies bubbling along to the point of overheating, in some cases – , the global economic environment still remains very uncertain.
Our small and vulnerable economy is likely to suffer new strains and stresses. But I look at the future with cautious optimism. We have been able to stay the course at the height of the crisis and I am confident that we will be able to come out of it in pretty good shape.
