I welcome former Reserve Bank Governors Bob Johnston, Bernie Fraser and Ian Macfarlane; former Deputy Governors; and current and past members of the Reserve Bank Board and the Payments System Board.
I welcome also the Governors, Deputy Governors and other representatives of 30 central banks from the Asia-Pacific region and around the world; our colleagues from the Bank for International Settlements; and past and present friends and colleagues from the public and private sectors. It is a very great pleasure indeed to welcome you all to Sydney and to this occasion.
